I think I mentioned that the street signs here are just slabs of stone with letters carved into them. Recently I started paying more attention to the writing on them. I long ago caught on to the way most streets were named after people, but I just recently put it together that these signs also tell you a bit about them. Like Filippo here, he was a scholar.
And Tartini was a famous musician, composer, and musical theorist.
I think these may only be on the start-of-the-street signs, since the one on my street by my house doesn't have any of that info... I am going to keep my eyes open on my wanderings to see if I can figure out who "Antonio Carnevali" was.
