Colonna dell'abbondanza, Column in Piazza della Repubblica, Florence, Italy
The granite column stands in the center of Piazza della Repubblica, featuring a bronze statue representing abundance at its summit.
The column was first erected in 1451 at the intersection of Roman grid roads, marking a central point in medieval Florence's marketplace.
Two chains attached to the column served different purposes: one indicated market hours while another was used for public display of dishonest merchants.
The monument's current position differs from its original location by two meters following its 1956 reassembly after storage during renovations.
The original statue by Donatello lost its head due to weather exposure and was replaced with a marble creation by Giovanni Battista Foggini in 1721.
