It's a giant bronzed lion!!! Imagine that in a city. Some of you might be wondering who would have a bronzed lion. Well as you can see in the followup photo, it's on the patio of an Italian cafe.
I wonder who the designer was that came up with this idea. Could it be Tarzan? Perhaps. But most likely it was someone with a name like Guido Tartaglia or something like that. He probably wanted to claim part of the imperial glory of the Roman Empire, which he perceives to be his ancestry and heritage -- even though he probably has more in common with the moors than the Romans. If he was going for the Roman thing he should have gone all out, and put in like a temple and fountains and maybe dress the staff in togas.
This place -- besides having the bronze lion -- also has some interesting quirks. For example, when you order lunch, apparently you write down your order on paper and pass it to the staff. They also put a tip on your bill for both large and small parties, before you get served. The next step in this service philosophy would be to let you go into the kitchen and make your own lunch after you pay.
