The Monument to Nicola Demidoff or Nikolai Demidov is a 19th-century outdoor sculptural monument located in "Piazza Demidoff" between Lungarno Serristori and Via dei Renai, along the southern bank of the Arno River, in the zone of San Niccolo in the Oltrarno section of the city of Florence, region of Tuscany, Italy. It was commissioned by Nikolai's sons, Paul and Anatoly Nicolayevich Demidov, to honor their father, the Russian statesman, diplomat, and later émigré to Florence, Nikolai Nikitich Demidov (1773–1828). The Count Demidov had become a prominent patron, philanthropist, and businessman in Florence. The son Anatoly commissioned the design and statuary from the sculptor Lorenzo Bartolini. Bartolini worked on the monument from 1830 until his death in 1850. After his death, his pupil Pasquale Romanelli continued the monument until it was inaugurated in 1870.
