This statue, crafted by sculptor Enrico Pazzi in 1875, stands as a stark reminder of Savonarola's influence during the late 15th century, particularly his role in the 'Bonfire of the Vanities'. Positioned in a serene square, it is a spot that invites reflection on Florence's turbulent history and the role of religious fervor in shaping the city’s past.
