The winged lion has entered the imagination of countless generations. Depicted as a protector a lion stands watch before the NATO headquarters in Italy, holding a sword and scroll on which is written PAX - Latin for 'peace'.

A winged lion also Symbolises Venice and the city’s patron Saint, Mark the Evangelist. The Lion of Venice towers over the Piazza San Marco, a silent and ever present sentinel.
