Descripción
A heraldic symbol of Florentine dominion, the Marzocco (from the Latin Martius, or Mars, god of war) is an emblem of force and genereosity.
This lion holding a shield which bears a lily, the coat of arms of Florence, was sculpted for the apartment which housed Pope Martin V in Santa Maria Novella between 1419 and 1420. In 1812 it was positioned in front of Palazzo della Signoria to replace the original fourteenth-century Marzocco, by then in ruins. However, due to the deterioration of the stone, Donatello's lion was moved inside the Uffizi in 1847.
