RavennaMapJuly 24, 2014 Ravenna is the first city in the world to have its sidewalks simply delineated with white paint. The roadway is to one side of the line, the pedestrian part is to the other.  The flower planters are made of concrete shaped into pretty bags.  A bike rack.  The display stand for show bills and tourist maps is very simple and elegant.  A street light.  Freestanding trash cans (the model is the same as in Florence).  An unusual trash can with a bag protected by a metal cage.  Underground garbage containers.  The downspout elbow is decorated with a wrought-iron leaf. Which means that someone just decided the elbow wasn’t pretty enough.  An alley.  A street.  A fine city.  |
