The Loggia del Pesce, once the Piazzetta, was the stage for dramatic events in the history of the city. One example is when workers, extended from the Arti revolted in 1378 (rivolta dei Ciompi). The Loggia, near via Pietrapiana, is decorated with multi-coloured terracotta and was built by Giorgio Vasari. It was originally erected in 1567 in the present Piazza della Repubblica, where the old market was once held. It was dismantled in the 19th Century to make way for construction work in the Piazza.
