07 of 12. In Trastevere we passed a place where an enormous chain is stretched across a street to keep cars from using it. But the chain isn't actually attached to the stone column at the side - it's held on to the giant bolt by a thin piece of wire looped around several times. Obviously nobody heard about the weakest link.
