Introduction

Perhaps the loggia of the Porcellino those would not be not even menzionabile approval that is sold to us under. Of fact but it is the loggia of the "Market New" and laughed them to the ' 500. Before dedicated to the sale of precious now to that one of ags and souvenirs. The true particularitity of the loggia in which nearly by force imbatte to us going towards the old bridge one is in two indeed likeable curiosities.

Before it is the statue of porcellino (the side old bridge), from which the name, but that in truth it is a wild boar. It originates them, it is to Palace pitti and that in its turn copy of one is one conserved hellenistic sculpture to the Uffizi. The grugno of the porcellino it is said that you carry fortune and it is polished from the touch of migliaia of every day hands. On the snout there is always a heel on which making to fall a mometa that in its turn grate falls on one. if the currency passes from the grate six lucky person says that. In the truth six solo the last bischero that passes from the loggia. The angle-shot is such that only the monente heavy and therefore more value succeeds to pass, the others bounces with the joy of the always starved communal administration from of moneies.

Braghe and fondoschiena to earth and down botte. From the saying derives here: "to be with the culo for earth, to have the braghe to earth" and fors' also from the word derives here: "sculo".
