Bridge of Sighs?

With the right accessories, reality doesn't look so real any more.

Mum and Dad showed me that from their recent holiday snaps of Venice. I was absolutely outraged anyone would agree to such an awful thing -- but from what little I understand of them, Italian heritage laws aren't quite as tight as they could be.

Actually I think that all the billboards in Venice do cover scaffolding. The quaint, old-fashioned way of concealing the working structure was with an image of the building that was being restored; but -- it goes without saying -- there was no money in it.

It was something similar when I was there a few months ago. Actually, I quite like the look of it (though it is undoubtedly very strange).

It occured to me that the il Ponte dei Sospiri (the Bridge of Sighs) is now covered by advertising by advertising brought to you by "Geox, la scarpa che respira" (the shoe that breathes). So should it now be, "la scarpa che sospira"? I think there is something going on here. Great photo, by the way.

Or maybe it is the Bridge of (Shoe) Sizes.
