		Theodore Tyro, also known as St.Theodore of Amasea, was an early Christian martyr.
		For reasons hard to fathom, one of the symbols associated with St. Theodore is the crocodile, and this rather modern looking statue depicts him standing with a curiously odd version of that animal, most likely carved by someone who had never seen a crocodile.
		Theodore is venerated in the Eastern Church and became the patron saint of Venice very early in the existence of the city, when it was still a vassal state of Byzantium, but he is not what you would call a major league saint.

		The column on the right is very similar to a column in St. Mark's square in Venice depicting St. Theodore of Amasea, a martyr who was an early patron saint of Venice, tramping on a crocodile of Egypt.
		According to local legend, it is bad luck to walk in between the two columns as that very location was once the place for public executions.
