	Loggia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A loggia is the focal point in place of a portico in the centre, and used again each side of the structure as a corridor.
		Loggia is the name given to an architectural feature, originally of Italian design, which is often a gallery or corridor generally on the ground level, or sometimes higher, on the facade of a building and open to the air on one side, where it is supported by columns or pierced openings in the wall.
		Loggias sometimes were given significance in a facade by being surmounted by a pediment.

		The last Loggia was built at about 1628 by the "General Provisioner" Frangisko Morozini, known also by the homonymous fountain in the centre of the town.

		Loggia reined in his boundless energy but made sure that audiences always knew it was there.
		After that, Loggia was constantly in demand as a character actor on the big screen, including three Pink Panther flicks & "S.O.B." for Blake Edwards, "Prizzi's Honor" for John Huston, "The Believers" for John Schlesinger, "Wild Palms" for Oliver Stone, & "Big" for Penny Marshal.

	Florence Art Guide - The Loggia dei Lanzi
		The Loggia dei Lanzi, built between 1376 and 1382 to house the assemblies of the people and hold public ceremonies like, for example, the swearing into office of the Gonfaloniers and the Priors, stands on the righthand corner of Palazzo Vecchio, where Piazza della Signoria meets the square of the Uffizi.
		It was in fact originally called the Loggia della Signoria or "of Orcagna", from the name of the artist who designed it (though it was actually carried out by Benci di Cione and Simone Talenti).
		After the construction of the Uffizi, which was built onto the rear of the Loggia, Bernardo Buontalenti transformed the terrace into a sort of hanging garden (1583) from which the princes could watch ceremonies or performances in the square.

		The loggia, a covered, open-air terrace across from the Palazzo Vecchio, is home to some of the city's most remarkable public sculptures, largely from the 16th century-Cellini's noble bronze Perseus and Giambologna's spiraling, agitated Rape of the Sabines are two standouts.
		It is not only by chance that even the sculpture by Fedi was defined as: four characters and an author to relate the trials and tribunes of the lovely Polissena who fights in her hate and love for the baneful and invulnerable Pirrus who stole her away from a despairing mother and a slain brother.
		The Loggia was born to be open to everyone; a marvellous stone umbrella that freely offers shelter from the summer sun and the winter rain - as well as space to contemplate the beauty of Florence.

	Floridian: New blood for 'Sopranos'
		Besides Loggia, film actor and director Steve Buscemi (Reservoir Dogs, Fargo) joins the series as Tony Blundetto, a cousin, old friend and former partner of Soprano, who finds the outlaw life less appealing after years behind bars.
		Loggia admitted similar wonderment, despite a resume that includes countless tough-guy Mafia characters and a movie that could be considered the film godfather of The Sopranos, the dark comedy Prizzi's Honor.
		Expect the same for Loggia's La Manna, who gets a few explosive scenes as a brutal thug trying to take over the lawn care business in a neighborhood frequented by Paulie "Walnuts" Gualtieri (Tony Sirico).

		Si suppone l’esistenza di verbali riguardanti i lavori di Loggia, ma questi non sono stati ritrovati; i dati certi che si hanno circa la sua origine sono contenuti nel diario personale di uno dei più autorevoli membri: il dottor Antonio Cocchi, insigne naturalista e medico introdotto a Corte nonché medico della colonia inglese a Firenze.
		La Loggia, che inizialmente contava solo sudditi inglesi, accolse in breve tempo una sessantina di toscani, fra i quali esponenti della nobiltà progressista e dell’alta borghesia, interessati al rinnovamento della società italiana in senso liberale.

		The space originally allotted by the architect of the Palazzo Vecchio for this purpose, was guarded by a noble railing, but offered no shelter from the weather; to obviate which inconvenience, in the year 1355, the Loggia dei Lanzi was built in one angle of the square.
		The square in which the Loggia is situated, is crowded with statues; a host so numerous, that it might almost be termed disorderly.
