After the fall of the Scaligeri, in 1405, the city of Verona decided to become part of the Republic of Venice to whose fate remained tied for four centuries, until the arrival of Napoleon.
The Winged Lion or the Lion of San Marco is the symbol of the Venetian Republic and it is common to see it in the cities that were under the dominion of Venezia.
This sculpture is placed on the top of a column in piazza delle Erbe in the city center of Verona (Italy).
