Arco della Costa

Between Piazza delle Erbe and Piazza dei Signori

Verona - Italy

According to popular belief, the gigantic bone that hangs from the arch was a rib lost by the Devil. Well, as usual, the reality is much less interesting... it's just a whale bone used as a sign by a merchant's shop that overlooked the square in the Middle Ages.
