Why does the sign say,”no sculpting?” I want to know.

This is just my interpretation. The sign is done by an artist who modifies traffic signs.

Hilarious! I would have said that Carrara was the right place for this sign…

Good suggestion.

Or maybe, the sign means sculpting allowed in a particular area…? Not sure if the colour red means ‘no sculpting’…? As margieinitaly says’Only in Italy….’

I love them too. I will have to go back through my photos and find the others I have found.

Now that’s worth pondering!

Someone has gone to a bit of trouble to do these signs. They must sneak around at night when nobody is looking.

There are a few different ones in the city. I have photographed them before, but couldn’t find the photos. I think they are great.

I will definitely be looking out for them and I always have a camera with me.

The artist is Clet Abraham, he has a shop in the Oltarno. Isn’t his work fun?

I remember seeing quite a few (and even clicking photos of them) when we were in Florence! It did bring a smile on! 🙂 Regards

They have the best cheeky signs like this in Florence. This one is fantastic. Have you seen the one with the guy carrying the bar away? I wonder who we have to thank for these little masterpieces…

Thanks to Yvonne above we know that the artist is Clet Abraham. There is a link to an article about him in her comment box. I have seen the one carrying the plank and I’m sure I have a photo somewhere.
