Every day, dozens of young lovers do their peculiar rite of love over Milvio bridge, the oldest Rome across the Tiber.
In its bars, lovers placed a lock with their names writen and then they throw the key to the river holding hands to seal their eternal love. The tradition comes from a famous novel of Federico Moccia.
This romantic symbol of the XXI century it has become fashionable in Seville.
Were the Italians erasmus students who have arrived in Seville who have been responsible for raising awareness of the tradition of his country.
If you want to check it, just walk around the iconic Elizabeth II Bridge, which connects Seville and Triana, and see that their rails can be counted more than 20 locks that symbolize love and friendship of several couples.
Messages like "I love you" or "always together", who usually write Roman couples can also be read on the Guadalquivir river...

Excellent composition and tonality. Good eye shot. Just one question: what do the names on the locks stand for?
