The lion of the fountain in Piazza Paolo Centinaro in Portovenere.
Walking through the narrow streets of Portovenere, one of the pearls of the province of La Spezia, I found this beautiful little square with this beautiful fountain.
The attention of my lens fell on this figure of a lion.

Here's where the fountain is located:

Paolo Centinaro, a benefactor from Porto Venere, to whom the ancient square of the “Cisterna Pubblica” is dedicated, built by the Genoese in the 13th century to collect rainwater. In the center of the square is the Fountain of the Lions, built during the Fascist period by Ettore Andrea Mori, mayor and expert in the artistic and historical beauties of Porto Venere.
