From Firenze, with love ♥ ♥
or should we say: 2006, An Italian Oddity
(and a very cute oddity at that .. the expression is merely a free association)
So the Firenze (Florence) people use locks. Not like you and I do, though (see picture).
In this time and age, it's quite a statement. But it is no surprise, of course, as it comes from a people of Romance after all :)
An Italian fellow was saying that the local city authorities were not all that happy about it. I can't remember the reasoning. It was a charming sight for me, however, as I had no previous notion of it. Now I am here to spoil your surprise. If you ever go to Firenze, look around and you will see something like that. And if you have a love to declare to the world, perhaps you want to take a lock with you, and permanent(*) marker pens. Just in case.
Locks of love.
Who thought of this for the first time, I wonder. Surely they never imagined it catching up like this :)
Florence, Italy, 2006 August.
(*) Though do keep the word permanent in mind, because I may be around to make a picture of it and then even if you remove the lock, the world gets to learn who you are in love with :-)
