This lion seems very proud and content. He rests at one side of the huge, sweeping colonnade of the Piazza del Plebiscito in Naples. The temple-like structure on the left is the entrance to the church of San Francesco de Paolo, like the colonnade, an unapologetic Neo-classical  monument not far from the Palazzo Reale and the Teatro Carlo, both currently under restoration. The church is based on the Pantheon in Rome.
