Piazzetta dei Leoncini is a city square in Venice, Italy.[1] The square is located on the north side of the St Mark's Basilica, near the Palazzo Patriarcale and San Basso.[2] The square is known for its lion statuary in marble of Cottanello, made by the sculptor Giovanni Bonazza in 1722.[3] Also on the square, in an alcove of the Basilica itself, is the sarcophagus of Daniele Manin, the president of the brief independent Republic of San Marco, established during a rebellion in 1848 against Habsburg rule.
