The lion symbolizing Venezia Per Sempre is part of the façade of the Scuola Grande di San Marco, restored by Save Venice from 2000 to 2005. In contrast to the lion in Save Venice’s logo, which stands with his paw on an open book, this lion is framed by his wings, a pose called molecca. Most of the public lion statuary, because it was a symbol of the Venetian Republic, was destroyed during the Napoleonic and Austrian reigns of the 19th century. They have since been replaced by copies. This lion remains one of a handful that survived, thus further underlining the meaning of Venezia Per Sempre.
