Monument to Giuseppe Garibaldi by Augusto Benvenuti, 1885
Viale Garibaldi, Castello
Venice, October 2012
“Leaving Sant’Isepo, turn right and cross the bridge, then turn left and walk along the canal until you reach Viale Garibaldi, a peaceful, tree-lined esplanade dotted with benches and frequented by families. Crowning the end of the Viale is the monument to Giuseppe Garibaldi, the Italian military hero; the murky pond beneath is full of turtles and fish, to the delight of local children.” (Venice Walking Tour: Eastern Castello, National Geographic Society)

In the picture, clearly we can see who is King. But not in the wild !!!!
I wish they still made grottoes.
The lion is so cute.
Very dashing!
