Hand #134 Graffio

While strolling near Campo S. Trovaso in Venice Italy last week on vacation, I found an old building marked with graffiti. Hand prints were part of the works. It's sad to see these very historic buildings defaced...yet still the smiling hand warmed my heart. Touching it, I could not help but smile back. 

Did you know? .... the word graffiti is derived from the Italian word graffio (“scratch”)
