Introduction
In the past, the New Market Arch was a high-end market, but now it has become a place where vendors sell souvenirs and leather goods. The small pig fountain (Fontana del Porcellino) south of the market is related to Roman imitations of ancient Greek sculptures and was created by the sculptor Pietro Tacca (1577-1640). It is said that if tourists touch the nose of the pig and throw a coin into the water, they will definitely return to Florence in the future.
