Rainbow Chair

Not sure why, someone placed a chair and a lamp post wrapped in rainbow color in the center of the island of via Po junction with piazza Castello. 


Although it was months ago that it happened and it had been since removed after just a couple of minutes, but in view of the Pride, maybe is time to post the photo.
