Monument to Carlo Goldoni

The Monument to Carlo Goldoni is a white marble outdoor statue inaugurated in 1873 to commemorate the Venetian dramatist.

The monument is located in a piazza of the same name, formerly called Piazza delle Travi, in front of Ponte alla Carraia, in the quartiere of Santa Maria Novella of Florence, region of Tuscany, Italy.

The name of the piazza, which had reflected a postern leading to a port in the Arno River for wood barges,[1] was renamed in 1907 on the 200th anniversary of Goldoni's birth.

The base was constructed by Mariano Falcinil [Wikidata].

In April 2014, the base was vandalized with graffiti, soon cleaned.
