Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Piraeus Lion is one of four lion statues on display at the Venetian Arsenal, where it was displayed as a symbol of Venice's patron saint, Saint Mark. It was originally located in Piraeus, the ancient harbour of Athens. It was looted by Venetian naval commander Francesco Morosini in 1687 as plunder taken in the Great Turkish War against the Ottoman Empire.
Italiano: Il Leone del Pireo è una delle quattro statue di leoni presenti all'esterno dell'Arsenale di Venezia, simboli di San Marco, santo patrono della città. La statua originariamente si trovava al Pireo, l'antico porto di Grecia. Fu portata a Venezia come bottino dal comandante navale Francesco Morosini nel 1687, durante le guerre della Lega Santa contro l'Impero Ottomano, quando i veneziani assediarono Atene.
