In Greek mythology, the Chimera was a monstrous creature of Lycia in Asia Minor, composed of the parts of multiple animals: upon the body of a lioness with a tail that terminated in a snake's head, the head of a goat arose on her back at the center of her spine.
I do not really know why they put this ceramic bas-relief of a giant Chimera on this ugly building facing “Piazza del Municipio” (Town Hall Square), but there it is in all its colorful madness.

I think it made the ugly building quite pretty. I'd like to have it at my place.
