Saint Zuccone, This statue is known by two names the Prophet Habakkuk or Zuccone. The statue within an elaborate niche outside the Orsanmichele in Florence. The Prophet Habakkuk/Zuccone stands akimbo with his right foot forward. His clothing is Neo-Classical and his hands are empty, making his identity difficult.
