The Piglet Loggia in Florence is another name for the Loggia del Mercato Nuovo, or New Market Loggia. It was built in the 16th century by Cosimo I de' Medici for the sale of silk and precious objects, and later became known for the booming trade in Florentine straw hats in the 1800s. It was part of a series of specialized covered markets designed by Vasari to organize the city's trade system efficiently.
