The John the Baptist (made for the Cloth-dealers), also on this facade, is by Ghiberti of the Baptistery gates.

On the facade of the Via de' Lamberti is Donatello's superb S.Mark (for the Joiners), which led to Michelangelo's criticism that he had never seen a man who looked more virtuous, and if S.Mark were really like that he would believe all his words.

"Why don't you speak to me ?" he also said to this statue, as Donatello had said to the Zuccone.

Higher on this facade is Luca della Robbia's famous arms of the Silk-weavers, one of the perfect things.

Luca also made the arms of the Guild of Merchants, with its Florentine fleur-de-lis in the midst.
