Abbiamo toccato il muso della statua per essere certi di non tornare... con i prezzi che ha questa città è sufficiente una sola visita, grazie!

Capisco le superstizioni d'ogni modo quello che appare è un mucchio di gente che si ammassa in questa zona dove c'è un mercato fisso per fare foto a questa scultura e provare a far cadere la moneta. Vicino c'è sempre qualcuno anche non della zona che spera di raccogliere e tenere ciò che cade fuori ... La cosa può dare molto fastidio.

Visité este lugar y esperaba ver a la señora que te roba las monedas, pero no estaba jaja por suerte la mía cayó dentro así que volveré 😁 Esta un poco oculta entre un pequeño mercado, así que debes estar atento para encontrar la Fontana del Porcellino I visited this place hoping to see the lady who steals the coins—but she wasn’t there, haha. Luckily, mine landed inside, so I guess I’ll have to come back 😁 The Fontana del Porcellino is a bit hidden inside a small market, so keep an eye out when looking for it!
