marzocco
The ''Marzocco'' is the heraldic lion that is a symbol of Florence, and was apparently the first piece of public secular sculpture commissioned by the Republic of Florence, in the late 14th century. It stood at the heart of the city in the Piazza della Signoria at the end of the platform attached to the Palazzo Vecchio called the ''ringhiera'', from which speakers traditionally harangued the crowd. This is now lost, having weathered with time to an unrecognizable mass of stone.
The best known rendition is by Donatello, made in 1418–20. Donatello’s original replaced the original in the piazza in 1812, but since 1885 has been indoors in the Bargello, replaced by a copy in bronze that is still exposed to weather in the Piazza della Signoria.
==The first Marzocco==
The original that had stood since (perhaps) 1377, and is now lost, appears to have been similar to Donatello's in design, though it was fully gilded and may have crouched over a submissive wolf representing Florence's great rival Siena.〔(Victoria and Albert Museum ), page on their replica of the Donatello〕 It can be seen in the background of several paintings and prints, though by the time it was replaced it was so worn that (being only medieval, not classical) it was not considered worth keeping, and disappeared. About 1460 it was given a richly sculptural socle with double baluster-like motifs〔"Resembling pairs of handleless ''all'antica'' urns arranged like the bulbs of a Roman candelabrum", according to Paul Davies and David Hemsoll, "Renaissance Balusters and the Antique" ''Architectural History'' 26 (1983:1–122) p. 4.〕 at the corners. The ''ringhiera'', once a platform from which the ''Signoria'' addressed the people, then a focus for popular tumult, was removed at the same time as the statue was replaced by Donatello's on a pedestal in 1812.
