Mantua is not a bad city at all. Anyone who has never been there really ought to go. I could tell you about my visit to that city.
I could tell you about its beautiful historic centre.

Or about the castle, which still has a moat full of water.

Or about the lakes full of fish and, as a result, flown over by seagulls.

But does anyone care about all this? Of course not.
Because in Mantua there are things that are far more interesting.
It was precisely in Mantua that a new rule of Italian grammar was invented, according to which a space is left between the apostrophe and the following word.

On the same street, however, that sign is counterbalanced by a rather nice shop sign.

At a certain point I noticed an object which comes closer than any of its relatives I have ever encountered to my idea of the perfect ashtray.

The automatic bollards that temporarily block access to cars flash with little red lights. No way you’d drive into them.

Some stormwater drain covers impress with their functionality.

On the lakeshore one comes across some U.N.O.s: Unidentified Navigating Objects.
