On the banks of the Arno River in Florence, padlocks professing love are left chained to posts as promises of eternal love.


On the banks of the Arno River in Florence (Firenze) Italy these locks with professing love are left on the railings and chain posts, which line the river. Some simply leave the names of the lovers for posterity, others make promises of always or forever in multiple languages.
