Literally broke in two due to all the weight of the locks.<br />You can read more about it from Shelley over at <a href="http://athomerome.blogspot.com/">At Home in Rome</a> who recently wrote a nice post about the <a href="http://athomerome.blogspot.com/2007/03/lock-up-your-love-and-throw-away-key.html">locks of Ponte Milvio</a>. Or check out the article on <a href="http://www.corriere.it/Primo_Piano/Cronache/2007/04_Aprile/13/ponte_milvio_lucchetti.shtml">corriere della sera.</a><br />I guess all of Rome decided to put a lock on the lamp after the movie "Ho Voglio di Te" came out. I think the movie single-handedly revived the interest of declaring your love by placing a lock on the lamp and tossing the key into the Tevere.<br />That's a lot of love (and a ton of locks).averyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02226337313267567510noreply@blogger.com
