Loggia dei Lanzi
Loggia dei Lanzi
Piazza della Signoria, Florence, Italy.
A Roman copy of an original Greek work, statue of a man in armor supporting a heroically dying comrade. Probably depicting a scene from the Iliad (Trojan War), Menelaus and Patroclus or Ajax and Achilles.
The Loggia dei Lanzi is on a corner of the famous and popular Piazza della Signoria. The name dates back to the reign of Grand Duke Cosimo I, when it was used to house his German mercenary pikemen. After the construction of the Uffizi at the rear of the Loggia, the roof was modified and became a terrace from which the Medici princes could watch ceremonies in the piazza. The Loggia consists of wide arches open to the street and forms a small art museum that a visitor can enjoy at any time and for free.

Corinthian Order
Corinthian Order
The architectural design of many structures has changed greatly since ancient times. While the designs may have changed physically, their roots remain in one of many places; Greek architecture.
In almost all cases, some of the most famous buildings and sculptures today originated from Greek ideas. Moreover, architectural styles such as the arch, and columns originated from Greek design. Throughout history, these structures have become the foundations for our political recognitions and in many cases social status in life. Greek architecture, commonly known for columns in most of their structures, has been the base of almost all aspects in construction. The shape of the column was the most significant in architectural design. Originally there were three types (orders) of columns: Doric, Ionic and Corinthian.
The Corinthian order is the most decorative of the Greek orders, characterized by slender fluted columns having an ornate capital decorated with acanthus leaves. It is commonly regarded as the most elegant of the three orders. The most distinct characteristic is the striking capital. The capital of the Corinthian order is carved with two rows of leaves and four scrolls.
