No, it's in the Piazza Duomo right next to the church. There are great views from the top of the tower. http://www.duomofirenze.it/storia/campanile_eng.htm

Piazza della Signoria is a few blocks away toward the river. The official website of the piazza is here: http://www.inpiazzadellasignoria.com/

No, it is in a close square: Piazza del Duomo (Cathedral Dome Square) there you can see the Cathedral of "Santa Maria del Fiore", Brunelleschi's Dome, Giotto's Steeple and the Baptistery, form Piazza della Signoria, you can arrive there going through Via Calzaioli...

Edit: Technically Uffizi museums are not in Piazza della Signoria but in Uffizi Square, an adjacent square...

Signoria Square is where the Uffizi is... There is a lot of statuary and some semi-permanent art exibits:

North of there, about 200 smoots, is the Piazza del Duomo (Cathedral Square) where the Duomo, Baptistry and Giotto's Bell Tower are:
