Verona
Fountain of Madonna Verona, 4th century, and the lion of Saint Mark at the top of a 16th century marble column, in the background, Piazza delle Erbe, Verona, Italy. In the centre of the Piazza delle Erbe (Square of Herbs) is a fountain built in 1368, perhaps by Bonino da Campione with a 4th century Roman statue, known as the Madonna Verona. The winged lion is the symbol of Saint Mark, the patron saint of Venice, reminding the Veronese of their long period spent under Venetian dominion. Picture by Manuel Cohen
