Description
This is a medieval statue of Moorish merchant Sr. Rioba. The nose was broken off in the 19th century. Rubbing the iron replacement is supposed to bring good luck. In 2010, the statue was beheaded, to the consternation of Venetians, but the head was found a couple of days later and replaced.
