Janine. Stop??? I never noticed that the stop signs are in English. Funny. Another sign that always confuses me is the “H” for Hospital…which I understand is the international symbol for Hospital, but since there is no “H” in “Ospidale”…it’s a little weird. Anyway. Love the signs. hugs.t
How funny Toni. Gosh, you must really be in the zone when you’re in Italy. Too many other things to take your eye perhaps? Round Perugia way there’s also the hospital symbol with a sweet little single bed. White on blue with a red cross. Very smart. It’s nice you like the signs too. Tutto bene? Un abbraccio. xxx
I know all about signs….after studying that wretched road rules book when I had to get my Italian licence. It is a time I would rather forget. Nice photos though.
Even the signage is fascinating in Italy, isn’t it? Sometimes it is weathered as if to blend with its background buildings, and other times it serves as a shot of colour (along with imparting info., of course!). Thank you for another fun tour, Janine! Happiness, ~ Lily
You’re welcome carissima! Ha, it’s always nice to know others see the same weird beauty as I do. Italy is endlessly fascinating for me. It’s the contrasts, just as you say…. x
che meraviglia queste foto in bianco e nero con i segnali rossi. Sembrano delle opere d’arte più che delle foto! ma direi che spesso le foto sono opere d’arti, no?!?!?!
Invece anche le tue mie cara…soprattutto perché si capisce che spesso sono fatte con il cuore, cogliendo ciò che realmente ti piace. Credo sia questo che rende speciale una foto, molto più che la giusta luce o la perfetta inquadratura.

Haha, love the last one with the little man watching the stop sign. Looks like he’s waiting for permission to get up and go.
You’re very good at these little stories Matilda. I love it! Your comments always make me smile.

Ooops Debra! Sorry about that. You can tell I haven’t had to get my licence in Italy yet…
Great pix! I liked the theme too!
That’s great to hear Garrett, thanks. A bit of an obscure theme but that’s the way I like them sometimes.
Interesting signs aren’t they?
Thanks Eryn. I really think so too. I’m glad you like them. They contrast with the old stones and buildings and I like that about them as well.

Absolutely brilliant. One of you best, I think.
O Robyn, thank you. I had great fun with this one I must say….Maybe that shows? Your thoughts mean so much to me. I hope you realise that! Jx

Si si, per me le foto possono essere opere d’arte. Non le mie naturalmente! Ma grazie di cuore delle bellissime parole…xxx

Sei dolcissima. Grazie. E sono molto d’accordo. x
