One good blog post deserves another!… and since I couldn’t fit all the great Venetian sign photos in last week’s posting (A Good Sign | Un buon segno), here are the rest — including the stories that go with them. Enjoy!

Un’altra insegna del Devil’s Forest Pub. Con un nome cosi’ si potrebbe credere di essere in Inghilterra, pero’ nel sottofondo si vede la bandiera veneziana gialla e rossa con il famoso leone alato. / Another sign at the Devil’s Forest Pub. With a name like this, you might think it was in England, but in the background you can see the red and yellow Venetian flag with it’s famous winged lion.

Un’affissione che fa pubblicita’ per un evento di musica organizzato dal Laboratorio Occupato Morion a Venezia / A poster publicizing a music event organized by the Laboratorio Occupato Morion in Venice [According to Lonely Planet, this counter-culture social center throws a wicked dance party featuring local Venetian music groups.]

Targa stradale per il Corte del Luganegher, con sotto dei graffiti degli “artisti” locali / Street sign for the Courtyard of the Luganegher, complete with graffiti from the local “artists” [Luganegher means Sausage-maker in Venetian dialect and is related to the word luganega, a type of fresh pork sausage originating in the Lombardia and/or Veneto regions of Italy–place of origin is disputed.]

Una statua della Madonna sembra quasi benedire questa insegna di una banca a Venezia — Dio lo sa che di questi tempi c’e’ ne di bisogno! / A statue of the Madonna (Virgin Mary) seems almost to bless this bank sign in Venice — God knows, in these times we need it!

Thanks so much for posting these sign photos, Jodina. I really enjoyed them! Perhaps the dog one from last week is my fav!
