A heroic charge of the light brigade

In the centre if Palermo stands the Politeama Garibaldi theatre. An important example of neoclassical architecture, the Politeama presents a grand entrance under a monumental triumphal arch with Mario Rutelli's Quadriga bronze of Apollo, representing the "Triumph of Apollo and Euterpe" at the top, next to a pair of Benedetto Civiletti's bronze horses and cavaliers representing the "Olympic Games".


They look pretty unimpressive on their own but when I added in the decorative lamp in the square I thought they make quite a nice combination for the Blip Challenge theme of Heroic.
