Mellow Yellow Monday

In Florence, it can be treacherous walking out of the city proper.
The roads are narrow, winding, and most have no sidewalks.
These mirrors come in handy for checking around a blind curve
for a large, fast-moving vehicle—and while you're at it
you might want to mutter a little prayer as well!

street shrines

These are everywhere. According to one of my daughter's

Florentine profs, they exist simply to remind you to pray.

Okay.
