The essay aims at address how the medieval building of the baptistery in Florence had been perceived during the years of the reign of Cosimo I and Francesco I. Thanks to extensive documentation, both printed and handwritten, the authors’ essay tries to show how Vincenzio Borghini's thesis about the identification of the Battistero with the ancient Temple of Mars was essential in the Medici's political ideology that emphasized the foundation of Florentia as a Roman colony in the perspective of a direct derivation from the Urbe aimed at providing legitimation by the Papacy to the Medici family.
