Oh Venice! Venice! when thy marble walls
Are level with the waters,
Glory and Empire once upon the Towers ...G.G. Lord Byron
...
Reading Byron and looking for the Piraeus Lion which was "removed" by Venetians.It was originally located in the ancient harbour of Athens since the 1st century AD and was a famous landmark.
Its prominence was such that the port was given the name Porto Leone ( "Lion Port" ) by the Italians.

((( Dedicated to my friends and Flickr friends in Italy )))
Our thoughts are with you ... 29/5/2012

Duomo di Milano

What a wonder it is!!!
So grand, so solemn, so vast !!! And yet so delicate, so airy, so graceful!
A very world of solid weight, and yet it seems ...a delusion of frostwork that might vanish with a breath!
Mark Twain : "The Innocents Abroad "

Duomo di Milano,dedicated to Virgin Mary, a spiky Gothic and neo-Gothic Cathedral with 135 imposing spires topped with marble statues overlooking the bustling city of Milan.There are not any bell towers and at the very top of the tallest spire is the only non-marble statue, a gilded bronze statue of the famous “Madonnina” , added in the 1760s,rising to a height of 109 metres and being one of the city’s symbols.

For how long, o brave young men, shall we live in fastnesses,
Alone, like lions, on the ridges in the mountains?
Shall we dwell in caves, looking out on branches,
Fleeing from the world on account of bitter serfdom?
Abandoning brothers, sisters, parents, homeland
Friends, children, and all of our kin?
....
Better one hour of free life,
Than forty years of slavery and prison
