For those requiring a refresher, a loggia (pronounced low-gee-ah, plural low-gee-eh) is an architectural feature involving an open structure, closed on one side by a building, and open on the other with columns. While rainy Bologna’s historical center is almost entirely covered with logge for pratical reasons, Florence tended to use this feature in a more idealistic way. BEING A WOMAN IN ITALY...

The building opened its doors as a foundling hospital, the ancestor of the modern day orphanage, in 1445.This was in response to the city’s problem of infant abandonment, which had recently come more to the patricians’ attention, not in the least because often, abandoned babies were products of the servant-master relations of these same patricians.
