The New York Times recently ran an
article about a new romantic ritual in Rome inspired by Federico Moccia’s recent book,
Ho Voglio di Te, and its extremely popular movie adaptation. In the book, a young man wins the heart of a woman by taking her to Rome’s Ponte Milvio wrapping a lock and chain symbolic of their love around a lightpost, and throwing the key into the Tiber River.
since the movie came out, throngs of people in italy have been duplicating the gesture. see? locks and chains can be romantic afterall.

how passionate, and a touch possessive. beautiful italians!
you're RIGHT! so italian and passionate. i think it's sweetly romantic!
umm, they have it all wrong! the florentines have been doing this for DECADES. over the ponte vecchio. i placed my first lock there in 94. and then another in 2003.
it is a beautiful way to show your love though!
