= **By: Vincenzo Danti** =



These three statues in the round depict Saint John (in the center) submitting to the sword of the executioner while Salome watches. This sculpture was modeled by Danti between 1569 and 1570, then placed on the south door of the Florence Baptistry. Starting at the Ponte Vecchio, walk north on Via Por Santa Maria. Follow this road until you reach the Duomo. Take a right in the piazza before the Baptistery and follow the piazza around to the east side of it. The front of the Museo dell'Opera del //Duomo// is facing into the piazza on the east side//.//
