Iron Nose
At the end of the Fondamenta dei Mori (in the Cannaregio sestiere) is the Campo dei Mori, where you can see the three statues of the three silk merchants who lived and worked there more than five centuries ago. In the corner of the house, Rioba, a famous Venetian statue, is represented with this odd iron nose...

Unique and odd indeed!
I don't think the statue likes his nose.
Who knows? (Solid irony.)
Is there anything unusual about the other two statues? Or their noses?
What's the story?
Do you live in, or near Cannaregio? So many of your photos feature that sestiere.
That's a bit of a mystery.
Well, it certainly is distinctive!
Hope it wasn't syphilis!
He's not exactly a fellow I'd feel "scent"imental about.
