Lion-shaped sculpture is one of the common themes in western architectural decoration sculpture. It has a very important symbolic significance in the long cultural accumulation of the West. The oldest lion image appears in the art works of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and Persia.

At the southern end of Plazza and Piazzetta San Marco, facing the Adriatic Sea, there are two pillars, one of which stands on top of an imposing winged lion.

There are also a total of 14 winged lion statues guarding the square.
