THE LION, THE LAMPPOST AND THE TRASH CAN*

Lucca is a wonderland of street ornamentation.  I never tire of beautiful streetlights

Or decorative grill work

Or building ornaments, whether tile, bronze, marble

Dante

Or door knockers

And doorbells

The Italians can't seem to help themselves - even the most utilitarian items are pretty.

And that's one of the things that makes a trip to Italy so special.
