These pics are mainly from the baroque things we saw, where the cherubs and faces were of interest. Sometimes you look at the whole façade of a church or other building and it is frankly a firehose of carvings and embellishments.
I tried to see the finer details and amusing additions.
This was from an oratorio in Palermo, so more…irreverent cherubic depictions were allowed
Monreale: the cloister supports were all different
Taormina, just a simple door knocker. I think I want one !

One has to wonder if this fine work was done by an apprentice, just as it is “simple” for Monreale
Disapproving or does he have a headache?
A griffin!!
