The Salone dei Cinquecento is the largest and most important room in Palazzo Vecchio, an environment that has played a decisive role in the history of the city and the nation, having hosted the chamber of deputies in the period of Florence as the capital and the council of the sixteenth century at the time of the Republic of Savonarola (who had it built). The hall, imposing in size and height, is enriched by the magnificent coffered ceiling, by the marble statues by Michelangelo and Giambologna, among others, and by the frescoed walls by Vasari. Today it is also used to host major conferences and events. This impressive hall has a length of 54 meters, a width of 23 and a height of 18 meters. By volume it is the largest room in Italy built for the management of civil power. The last restoration dates back to 2000-2001.

This red Fiat 500 was standing at Poggio Covili. This is the perfect italian combination - a Cinquecento and cypresses!
Diesen Fiat 500 habe ich am Poggio Covili fotografiert! Das ist für mich die perfekte italienische Kombination: ein Cinquecento und eine Zypressenallee!

Unfortunately, it closed permanently after flooding from a water main break in April 2020 which caused major damage (see this photo from last year). The prospects of repair and restoration to reopen during COVID appear to have been coffin nails. Compare this photo from several years ago when the restaurant was open. Not sure what's going on or planned to go into the space.

Located on the ground floor of the Palazzo Vecchio, the Salone dei Cinquecento was built in 1494 to the designs of Simone del Pollaiolo and commissioned by Girolamo Savonarola, the friar who encouraged the French to take the city and who later became the spiritual leader of the newly established Republic of Florence. Initially designed to house the 1,000 citizens who were the members of the Great Council of the Republic and who met in two groups of 500 (hence the name), the Salone is a vast and imposing space that was later expanded to the designs of Giorgio Vasari to house the court of Grand Duke Cosimo I de' Medici once the Medici family had regained and solidified its political power in the city. Primarily used by the Duke for public ceremonies and as a visual centerpiece for his celebration of glory, it was when Cosimo began to utilize the space that it transformed into the incredible gem you see today.
The Salone was supposed to host two famous works by two incredibly talented artists, but in the end, they were sadly lost forever: Michelangelo's "Battle of Cascina" and Leonardo da Vinci's "Battle of Anghiari." The "Battle of Anghiari" fresco, like his iconic "Last Supper," fell victim to one of da Vinci's experiments in fresco techniques. Because the paint dried too slowly, the artist attempted to speed up the drying process by using hot coals in charcoal pans. This, of course, proved to be a disastrous idea and led to the work melting before the eyes of desperate viewers. Michelangelo, on the other hand, was commissioned to paint the Sistine Chapel before he could finish his fresco for the Salone, and his sketches were lost forever when a horde of wild young artists came to study these drawings and simply made off with pieces of them.
Yet, despite these not insignificant losses of what might have been some of the greatest works of art ever created, the Salone is not short of artistic gems today. In fact, it is often seen as the jewel of the Palazzo Vecchio, and this is due to the pieces that adorn the room today. There is a wonderful series of works in the Salone that were executed between 1555 and 1572 by Vasari, his assistants, and students. As the culmination of Mannerism, the room houses a decorative scheme that reaches its height (literally and physically) in the coffered ceiling, raised to a height of seven meters by Cosimo and decorated with 42 panels containing painted images of the glory of Florence and, in particular, of the Medici. The central panel depicts Cosimo in apotheosis; around it are allegories of the districts of Florence and Tuscany in an act of submission to the Duke, and there are also portraits of some of Vasari's collaborators. On the lower walls are six different scenes from the Pisan War and the Sienese War. In addition to the paintings on the walls and ceiling, we can also admire other works of art in the room, including statues of members of the Medici family and the two Medici popes, Leo X and Clement VII.
The Palazzo Vecchio ("Old Palace") is the town hall of Florence, Italy. It overlooks the Piazza della Signoria with its copy of Michelangelo's David statue, as well as the gallery of statues in the adjacent Loggia dei Lanzi.
The Hall of the Five Hundred (Salone dei Cinquecento) is the largest and most important room in terms of artistic and historic value in Palazzo Vecchio. This impressive hall, which plays a key role in Dan Brown’s Inferno (there you go Alvin Harp !), is 54 meters long, 23 meters wide, and 18 meters high. It is the largest room in Italy made for a civil power palace.
The Hall of the Five Hundred was built in 1494 by Simone del Pollaiuolo and Francesco Domenico and commissioned by Fra Girolamo Savonarola. Savonarola had ousted the Medici from power for a short period and had founded a new Florentine Republic, which lasted between 1494 and 1498.
He tried to establish a more democratic government for the city of Florence and thus created the Council of Five Hundred (or Great Council), consisting of five hundred people, modeled after the Grand Council of Venice. In this way, the decision-making power belonged to a greater number of citizens, and it was more difficult for a single person to take control of the city. The tangible result of these reforms was the creation of the Salone dei Cinquecento in the government building, which at the time involved a remarkable engineering effort.
Savonarola was arrested in 1498, hanged, and burned at the stake in the Piazza della Signoria as a “heretic, schismatic, and for preaching new things.” Later, the Medici returned to power and in 1540 chose Palazzo Vecchio as a residence, radically transforming it.
Most of the work was entrusted to Giorgio Vasari. The Salone dei Cinquecento was transformed from a place of celebration of the power of the Republic to the boardroom of the Duke Cosimo I de’ Medici, where he received ambassadors and gave audience to the people.
The decorations, therefore, had to exalt and glorify the Medici family. To accentuate the grandeur of the hall, Giorgio Vasari raised the ceiling seven meters, covering the truss structure with a beautifully decorated coffered ceiling. The forty-two panels were carried out by a team of painters coordinated by Vasari. In the original sketches, the center was to be occupied by an allegory of Florence, but Duke Cosimo actually wanted a glorious depiction of himself.
The whole room is richly decorated, and Giorgio Vasari, along with his helpers, painted on the walls six scenes of battle that represent the military successes of Cosimo I against Pisa and Siena. On the east side (to the right), you can find the Conquest of Siena, the Conquest of Porto Ercole, and the Battle of Marciano. On the west side (to the left), you can find The defeat of the Pisans at the tower of San Vincenzo, Maximilian of Austria attempting the conquest of Livorno, and Pisa attacked by the Florentine troops.

Fiat Cinquecento Classic. I don't normally post photos of cars or airplanes, partly because of their impact on the climate, but I'm making an exception for this Fiat 500. There's something special about its appearance, its friendly design, and perhaps even the memories of wonderful old movies set in Italy. I stumbled upon this specimen, beautifully lit against a dark background and I couldn't help but photograph it.
Napoli ha cinquecento cupole e migliaia di edicole sacre (oltre ad una dedicata a Maradona, ovviamente): dai Quartieri Spagnoli al Porto, passando per il Centro Antico, questa antichissima usanza che unisce sacro e profano è ancora sotto gli occhi di tutti. L'origine antica, di derivazione romana, è nota, grazie anche ai reperti rinvenuti a Pompei.
A Napoli chiunque poteva realizzare un'edicola votiva sia esso un religioso o un cittadino e senza dare giustificazione a nessuno.
Al centro storico di Napoli, ma anche nella periferia il motivo che maggiormente accomuna molte edicole è senza dubbio ex voto per grazia ricevuta.
Naples has five hundred domes and thousands of sacred aedicules (as well as one dedicated to Maradona, obviously): from the Spanish Quarter to the Port, passing through the Ancient Centre, this very ancient custom that unites the sacred and the profane is still there for all to see. The ancient origin, of Roman origin, is known, thanks also to the finds found in Pompeii.
In Naples anyone could create a votive shrine, be they a religious person or a citizen, and without giving justification to anyone.
In the historic center of Naples, but also in the outskirts, the reason that most newsstands have in common is undoubtedly an ex voto for a grace received.
