A few days ago a “grande acciuga” (big anchovy) has been painted on the roof of the decrepit Fish Market building. It is a work of Libera Capezzone and the words below say: “Lische squame coda amore. Libertà” (Fishbones scales tail love. Freedom).
The project was sponsored by a brand of paint, so it would have been nice to paint also the rest of the roof, which badly need it. This would have been also a better background for the big fish.

I agree with you. The entire roof should have been painted, but that is quite a huge fish!
Pretty hard to miss that.
Hopefully something is done with the building.
An instant landmark. Nice.
Nice but not something I like to eat.
I really like this one VP. And yes, I agree they could have painted the roof.
Okay, I absolutely adore this. Seriously, it's tasteful and males the building interesting right away.

I love it!!!! :)
This can be seen from afar.
I like it.
A curious choice of words.
That fish is big enough to swallow Jonah. Imagine the Bible talking about "Jonah in the belly of the anchovy."
That has to be the biggest anchovy I have ever seen!
Enjoy your Florentine trip!

Easy to spot!:)
Nice design.
This is so cool! Love it.
I so wish I could have walked...
