I have a close friend whose family comes from Naples, and it was while I was on my quest to find a post office to send her a postcard with a Naples post mark, that I came across this Piazza and its massive traffic snarl!
What struck me about the 4 lions at the base of the statue is that each of them are different! Talk about absolutely breaking all the rules about classical symmetry! There was a lion that was standing, one was sitting, one was looking to the side and I couldnt quite figure out what the 4th lion was up to. The column that is in the midst of these 4 lions has a beautifully wrought elegant statue of a winged lady holding a wreath.
However it was hard to get up close to see this statue in the middle of the Piazza as it functioning as a traffic roundabout! Would be nice if it could be a pedestrian zone instead.
