Marked by its 94-m/308-ft tower, Arnolfo di Cambio’s military- style town hall, shown at left, has been an important building in the history of Florence since the first years of the 14th century. It was built in massive fortress-like dimensions to house the Signoria, the highest ranks of the city’s republican government. Changes in Florence’s political makeup, especially with the return of the Medici, saw many transformations, especially to the interior, where fresco after fresco describes the history of the family, mainly by favored architect Vasari. He also added the frescoes to the regal Salone dei Cinquecento (the Room of the Five Hundred), which at once time housed Savonarola’s republic government and still houses Michelangelo’s Genio della Victoria.
