Interesting fact: It was from here that both Giovanni da Verrazzano and Amerigo Vespucci set sail in the 16th century, crossing the Atlantic to reach the new continent. This was also the port where the fleet of the Knights of Santo Stefano, the religious order of chivalry founded by Cosimo de' Medici to counter the raids of the Barbary pirates who plagued the Mediterranean, was moored. Here, in a lavish ceremony, Maria de' Medici embarked to marry Henry IV, King of France. Galileo also came here to test how the telescope he had perfected could be used aboard a ship in rough seas, but an exceptional calm thwarted his attempt.

A place of worship and perdition for an entire generation 🖤

Giovanni Baratta came from a family of sculptors from Carrara. He was the son of Isidoro Baratta and nephew of Francesco Baratta the Elder (around 1595–1666) and Giovanni Maria Baratta (around 1627–1675). His brothers Francesco Baratta the Younger (1663–1729) and Pietro Baratta (1668–1729) were also sculptors. His nephew Giovanni Antonio Cybei (1706–1784) worked for him as an assistant and took over his uncle's studio after his death.
