    Traditionally the column marks the center of Florence, the meeting point between the Cardo and the Decumanus of the Roman settlement at the origins of the city. It was surmounted by a contemporary statue, now lost, later replaced by that, in pietra serena, of Donatello's "Dovizia". In the second half of the eighteenth century, due to the irreparable damage caused by erosion, it was in turn replaced by that of Foggini (a copy of which we can still admire today). With the nineteenth-century works of "Firenze Capitale" the column was removed and only in In 1956 it found its original location again.

    The Column of Abundance was erected in 1431 with the statue of Wealth by Donatello; a bell was attached to the top, which announced the opening and closing of the market. Dishonest traders were chained to the column, as if to a pillory. In October 1721, due to strong winds, the statue fell and broke into pieces. A new sculpture by Foggini appeared already in 1722. After the market was dismantled, the column was abandoned; only in 1956 was the column restored to its original location.

    This tall Column of Abundance from 1956 is a replica of a statue by Giovanni Battista Foggini that was made in 1721 to replace the original Donatello one from 1431

    (Translated by Google) In the center of Republic Square is the Column of Abundance, by Donatello. The column at this place has always stood, from the very foundation of the city. True, these were other columns. But originally a column at this place was installed to mark the center of the settlement. Times have changed, the area around the column is now built up, then cleared. The column was demolished and it fell, it was restored. So, an element of the ancient Roman Forentia has reached our time. (Original) В центре площади Республики находится Колонна Изобилия, авторства Донателло. Колонна на этом месте стояла всегда, с самого основания города. Правда, это были другие колонны. Но изначально колонна на этом месте была установлена, чтобы обозначить центр поселения. Времена менялись, площадь вокруг колонны то застраивалась, то расчищалась. Колонну сносили и она падала, ее восстанавливали. Так до нашего времени дошёл элемент древнеримской Форенции.

    (Translated by Google) Column of Abundance. Republic square. A statue with a "thousand" lives. Initially Abundance was already represented in Roman times, this statue was lost. The Dovizia, the work of Donatello came to replace the lost statue, it was equipped with a bell to announce the opening and closing of the market and a chain where those roguish merchants were tied. Donatello's work was also destroyed due to a collapse. In 1700 Foggini was commissioned to replace the statue, it was then transported to other places in the city and then dispersed. In 1956 the copy of Abundance by Foggini himself was placed, it is still found today in the Piazza della Repubblica. Curiously, the column could be considered as the "navel" of the historic centre. In fact it is the watershed between the districts: Santa Maria Novella, San Giovanni and Santa Croce. (Original) Colonna dell'Abbondanza. Piazza della Repubblica. Una statua dalle "mille" vite. Inizialmente l' Abbondanza fu rappresentata già in epoca romana, tale statua fu persa. La Dovizia, opera di Donatello venne a sostituire la statua dispersa, essa era dotata di un campanello per annunciare l'apertura e la chiusura del mercato e di una catena dove venivano legati quei mercanti malandrini. Anche l'opera di Donatello fu distrutta per via di un crollo. Nel 1700 venne commissionata al Foggini la sostituzione della statua, essa poi venne trasportata in altri luoghi della città per poi essere dispersa. Nel 1956 venne collocata la copia delll' Abbondanza dello stesso Foggini, essa si trova ancor oggi nella piazza della Repubblica. Curiosamente la colonna potrebbe considerarsi come "l'ombelico" del centro storico. Infatti è lo sparti acque tra i quartiere: Santa Maria Novella, San Giovanni e Santa Croce.

    Central square of the city and capital Florence, very beautiful, almost imposing with on one side the Rinascente illuminated at night and with a more modern touch and on the other the ancient restaurants/pastry shops and classic Florentine shops, this obviously in addition to the buildings and the imposing arch due to its size which completes and surrounds the entire square. A little crowded and no free seats in the evening.

    This is the place of foundation of the Roman Florentia, with the cardo and the decumanus maximi buried. Here was the hole. The Cardo today corresponds to via Roma, via Calimala and via Por Santa Maria. The Decumanus corresponds to via del Corso, via degli Speziali and via degli Strozzi. Archaeological traces have brought to light the remains of buildings, a spa complex to the south, and religious buildings. On the southern side of the forum square there was an entrance arch, while the northern side was delimited by a surrounding wall; to the east and south there were public buildings; the Capitoline temple was to the west, more or less where the porticoes are today, placed on a quadrangular podium of about three meters, accessible by stairs, of which the foundations remain. Under Hadrian, the area was monumentalised even more, in fact the square was raised and lengthened, and a new flooring in Lunense marble was created, approximately one and a half meters higher. There were some doors with monumental steps and a portico with statues of emperors, senators, consuls and magistrates.

    (Translated by Google) It was an old market in the Middle Ages. There are two chains on the post, one to open and close the market, and the other to tie up the scammer. When the old market was cleaned up from 1885 to 1895, the columns were removed and the components were stored in different locations. Until 1956, the column was re-erected and the statue was a replica. (Original) 中世紀時為老市場。柱子上有兩根鏈條,一根用來打開和關閉市場,另一根用來捆綁騙子。 1885年-1895年清理老市場時,圓柱被拆除,組件分別存放在不同地點。直到1956年,重新豎立該柱,雕像為複製品。
