yes I believe they have a vast collection there … I’ve not been there myself, just to Venice and along the top coast

Venice is a sewer, not missing anything … but that train ride around the coast was sheer magic!

I love looking at statues! And some of my favourites (weirdly?) are at cemeteries…as they are often of angels or children…and more meaningful to me.
I have a great “old” statue photo…yes, the statue is old and the photo is old…but I have no idea where to find it these days. 😦
(((HUGS)))

Not a weak excuse. I was telling it like it is.
It’s a photo I’m pretty sure I gave to one of my kids (cause they are all in it as preschoolers) and I don’t have a copy of it. That’s back when photos were taken with cameras, not phones. And we didn’t have computers to scan photos, into, etc. Most of our older photos are photos in frames, photo albums, and in boxes and not on our computers or our phones. 🙂

might be worth making them digital … so many here lose those collections in floods or fire so either park them in that cloud or on a pin drive … sorry I was jesting, no harm meant 🙂

No harm taken.
Yes, I don’t know how to make them all digital, but the kids have all their childhood photos original form or scanned on their computers and I am the keeper of all of the other original photos. Even those of my great grandparents, forward. 🙂
It’s so sad when people lose their photos in any way(s) I’ve had friends who lost all the ones they had put on their computer. 😦

scanning them, or photograph them with a good digital camera …. people find those very personal loses far harder to deal with than their home .. .

Statues are for the birds — especially pigeons.

good point, I feel they probably get far more benefit out of them than I do!

We humans put out a lot of birdbaths for birds, but no birdtoilets. Perhaps if we had pots for pigeons to poo in, they wouldn’t let loose on statues so much.

oh I thought statues were built purely for that purpose .. to collect pigeon poo!

I don’t believe in getting rid of the slavery statues. We need to remember so that we don’t forget.

a very valid point, know our history to ensure we don’t repeat it!

if we are talking about the same statues, they are not ‘slavery statues; The statues do not mention slaves. These statues aren’t seeking to educate. Their intent is to, venerate slave owners, profiteers, and others such enablers.
If there is a benefit in keeping the statues, as you say, ‘so that we don’t forget,’ then we should re-label these statues appropriately; changing words that currently grace their pedestals like ‘statesman’ and ‘proud warrior’ to ‘slave owner,’ and ‘traitor’.
