Monument to Victor Emmanuel II, Bronze memorial statue on Riva degli Schiavoni, Venice, Italy
The monument features a bronze equestrian statue of Victor Emmanuel II holding a sword, with women sculptures and lions at the base.

The bronze bas-relief and sculptures at the pedestal incorporate lions, the symbol of Saint Mark, connecting the monument to Venetian heritage.
