Florence Fleur de Lis
The symbol of Florence is a variation on the French fleur de lis (according to Wikipedia pronunciation as in lease, not lee). The basic flower design includes unique spikes between the petals. Which one is the model? Is it these two from the Palazzo Vecchio?
Or perhaps this one from the Giotto campanile of the Duomo?
It can be spotted everywhere around town.
On utility covers.
In stone on old buildings.
On napkins.
On this municipal fountain.
I see that I have a lot more pictures of these, but you get the idea. It was the obverse of the Florin as well. Florin of 1256:
