<a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Milan" class="mw-redirect" title="Milan">Milan</a>: a <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fresco" class="mw-redirect" title="Fresco">fresco</a> on the wall formerly at the back of a judge's bank, at the first stage of the "Broletto nuovo" or "Palazzo della Ragione", i.e. the ancient tribunal. Under the <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Coats_of_arms_of_Milan" title="Category:Coats of arms of Milan">Coat of arms of Milan</a>, the fresco portrays an animal (here, a horse): this was a common device used to allow illiterate people to spot the bank they were looking for.
