Reproduction of the Lion of Saint Mark statue, hand-carved in Vicenza stone by Peotta Bruno & Geom. Luigi Srl.
The statue of the Lion of St. Mark is one of the most recognizable symbols of Venice and represents the emblem of the ancient Republic of Venice, as well as the evangelical symbol of St. Mark the Evangelist, the patron saint of the city.
The winged lion — often depicted with a halo, a book, and its forepaws firmly planted on it — embodies the strength, wisdom, and justice of the Serenissima. The open book, engraved with the phrase "Pax tibi Marce, evangelista meus" ("Peace be to you, Mark, my evangelist"), symbolizes peace and the city's evangelical mission; when the book is closed or the sword is present, it indicates times of war or military power.
