We Learned that the Duomo is one of the largest churches in the world. What you see at top is just one tiny sculpture among many. Loved that bike. The sculptures are everywhere...I always think it is a little strange how violent some of them are. Now for the locks. We saw them all over Venice and new that they meant something...but did not know what. Today we asked our guide and here is the story. They are placed there by newlyweds as a symbol of there commitment...locked for life. Our guide told us it is always smart to play it safe and have another key somewhere.....I liked the idea and if I had an extra lock with me I would hang one.
