Niccolo Tommaseo
My name is Niccolo Tommaseo. I was a linguist, a writer and an Italian patriot. But do you know how some Venetian people dare to call me?

No, I don't know :)
Thanks to the sculptor, I am called "Cagalibri". Look it up!
Now, that's a scatalogical nickname! But when you look at the statue, you see why ....
First time I saw this statue in the Campo Santo Stefano, I said, "Look, he's pooping books." Great to learn how right I was—thanks, Pierre!
I like venetians' sense of humour and there beeing "schietti"!
Nice pictures, nice blog,
Have a nice day
The Book Pooper ( - : When I came to Venice he was on my list of things-to-say and I'm happy to say I found him and have a photograph with him.
Er...I meant things-to-see.
that's so funny! A good match for General Colleoni. - jean
