Title

Italy, a Poem

Description

The white, enclosed arch found in the center of this fore-egde painting is the Bridge of Sighs in Venice. It was named thus by Lord Byron because it led prisoners from Doge's Palace to the prisons. Legend has it that if kiss your significant other under the bridge, you will have eternal love.
