Monument to Nicola Demidoff, Florence

The Monument to Nicola Demidoff or Nikolai Demidov is a 19th-century outdoor sculptural monument located in "Piazza Demidoff" between Lungarno Serristori and Via dei Renai, along the southern bank of the Arno River, in the zone of San Niccolo in the Oltrarno section of the city of Florence, region of Tuscany, Italy.

Initially the monument was planned for the Demidovs' Villa San Donato, but Paul gifted it to the commune.

The architect Giuseppe Poggi utilized the monument for this park that he had landscaped just south of the Palazzo Serristori.

At the four corners are allegorical groups depicting Mercy, Siberia with the god Pluto, the Muse of Festivals, and the Truth as it revealed to Art.
