Loggia del Porcellino is the popular name of the Loggia del Mercato Nuovo in Florence, so called to distinguish it from that of the Mercato Vecchio, which was located in the area where today stands Piazza della Repubblica The focal point of the loggia is, since 1640, the Fountain of the Little Pig, actually a bronze "boar" made by Pietro Tacca, The fountain had a mainly practical function, as well as decorative, because it supplied water to merchants who traded under the loggia, that at that time were specialized in buying and selling fine fabrics such as silks, wool cloths. The base is octagonal in shape, with the front stretched so as to accommodate a small tub where falls the stream of water that comes out of the mouth of the Little Pig. The base is enriched by a representation, always in bronze, the environment of the marshes where the wild boar lives, with plants and animals such as amphibians, reptiles and molluscs, all of remarkable realism The popular tradition wants that touching the nose of the Little Pig brings luck, which in fact shines for the continuous daily polishing of thousands of hands. People use to put a coin in the mouth of the Little Pig after rubbing his nose: if the coin falling over the grate where the water falls will bring good luck.
