Various statues at the Loggia della Signoria, which is a building on a corner of the Piazza della Signoria in Florence, Italy, adjoining the Uffizi Gallery. It is effectively an open-air sculpture gallery of antique and Renaissance art.
Rape of the Sabine Women by the Flemish artist Jean de Boulogne, better known by his Italianized name Giambologna
Menelaus supporting the body of Patroclus
The group The Rape of Polyxena, is a fine diagonal sculpture by Pio Fedi from 1865.
On the back of the Loggia are five marble female statues (three are identified as Matidia, Marciana and Agrippina Minor), Sabines and a statue of a barbarian prisoner Thusnelda from Roman times from the era of Trajan to Hadrian
Nearby is Giambologna's less celebrated marble sculpture Hercules beating the Centaur Nessus (1599)
