On the top of a column of the Temple of Apollo in Syracuse, Italy, a red ant stayed for a few days. Apollo's Ant (aka by [bye] Discarica Culturale) has been used as the signature of the Discarica Culturale on the city of Syracuse and as a way to involve city's great heritage of antiquity using a simple sign. Apollo's Ant has parallels with the lucertola vermexiana, a gecko carved in stone inserted in the cornice of the municipal building of Syracuse. This was the signature of the architect Vermexio.
