After my first post about the Bowl of Hygieia I keep seeing this symbol everywhere: on a pharmacy window in “Via Santa Giulia”.
I have even found a Hygieian door handle in “Via Ricasoli”...
... and a “Since 1895” sign in “Via Grande”.See also: Bowl of Hygieia - Caduceus
I find this so historical and artistic. We don't really have this in the states.
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool! I like your post very much VP.
ReplyDeleteImpressive finds indeed. May you enjoy a healthy Friday.

I agree with Farmchick. We never do see that much around here.
ReplyDeleteI guess we had better be clean. MB
ReplyDeleteWell you're bound to see them everywhere! I like the door handle.
ReplyDeleteDon't you love how that happens?! It's like when you learn a new word, suddenly you start seeing and hearing it everywhere.
ReplyDeleteThat door handle is really something!
I do like very much those old pharms! From time to time I've also discovered some, like in Prague or Lisbon. We have one or two in my town too but perhaps not so old. Now you made me courious and I will check this out:)
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how many different examples of this theme you have found. Perhaps this could be a theme day theme. Surely the hygieia is everywhere (that's a LOT of vowels)!
ReplyDeleteThe second one is so beautiful and stylish!
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about the signs here, I need to pay attention about it...beautiful pictures and signs there! :)

Another great set of this beautiful symbol shots.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how you notice something once and then you see it everywhere!
ReplyDeleteI like them all too, but that door handle, bravo!
ReplyDeleteOf course door handle is my favourite:)
ReplyDelete@ Dina - You are right, we see things with different eyes when we know something more about their meaning.
ReplyDeleteThank God for eyes and ears.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, and I too liked the door handle.
