Lion of Saint Mark
The Lion of Saint Mark, representing the evangelist St Mark, pictured in the form of a winged lion,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Lion Of Saint Mark )〕 is the symbol of the city of Venice and formerly of the Republic of Venice. It appears also in both merchant and military naval flags of the Italian Republic. The Lion of Saint Mark is also the symbol of the award of the Venice Film Festival, the "Golden Lion", and of the insurance company Assicurazioni Generali.
Other elements often included in depictions of the lion include a halo over his head, a book, and a sword in its paws.
==St Mark and Venice==
Venetian tradition states that when St. Mark was traveling through Europe, he arrived at a lagoon in Venice, where an angel appeared to him and said "Pax tibi Marce, evangelista meus. Hic requiescet corpus tuum." (May Peace be with you, Mark, my evangelist. Here your body will rest.) This (possibly apocryphal) tradition was used as justification by Rustico da Torcello and Bon da Malamocco〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Hellovenezia : The Lion of St. Mark )〕 in 828〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Flags of the World : Venice )〕 for stealing the remains of St. Mark from his grave in Alexandria,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=A History of Venice )〕 and moving them to Venice, where they were eventually interred in the Basilica of St. Mark.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Venice Monuments )〕
