Bronzed Resin Statue finished by hand in each particular detail. The Lion of Saint Mark is the classic symbol of the city of Venice, Italy. An old venetian tradition tells the story of an angel in the form of a winged lion who speaked to Saint Mark the phrase “Peace be upon you, O Mark, my evangelist”, announcing him that he will rest his body in Venice’s lagoon. This statue is also the representation of the power of the Republic of Venice (La Serenissima) and, to this day, is also the symbol of the Venice Film Festival.
