The photo shows Il Porcellino in Florence, Italy. It's also known as a wild boar fountain and is located in very close to Piazza della Signoria. Before I went to Florence, one of my Italian acquaintances told me about Il Porcelino and a couple of romantic myths. One of the myths is rubbing the boar's nose to hope my wish come true; mostly the wish means return to Florence one day. That's why the nose is getting gold. The other myth is putting a coin in the boar's jaw and push, then let the coin fall through a hole around boar's feet to try one's luck. My coin fell through a hole.
