  1. 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.

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

  4. 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….’

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

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

  17. 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.
