Original pieces from China's famed Terracotta Army, also known as the Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses, are put on display inside the 16th century Basilica dello Spirito Santo (Basilica of the Holy Spirit) in Naples, Italy, on Tuesday, October 24, 2017. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses were buried with Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China, to protect the emperor in his afterlife. They are thought to surround his burial tomb, which is located outside present-day Xi'an, Shaanxi Province. [Photo: IC/EPA/Ciro Fusco]
