Introduction to the Corridor of Vecchio: The Corridor of Vecchio in front of Palazzo Vecchio was designed by Orcania and completed in 1382. It is famous for the fact that Cosimo I’s guards were stationed here.
Among the series of sculptures in the Wedge Gallery, the most valuable ones are "The Rape of the Sabine Women" and "Perseus".
The Rape of the Sabine Women is a famous sculpture by Giopolon, in which the struggling figures are carved out of a flawed piece of marble.
The bronze statue of Perseus holding the head of Medusa was created in 1554, which means that all enemies of Cosimo I will receive the same fate.
