Fai del bene e dimentica - HFF! (w/PIP)

Fai del bene e dimentica - HFF! (w/PIP)
This place is an intriguing cross between a second hand store (or maybe bazaar would be a better term) and a junk yard, which doubled also as refuge for a colony of street cats. Criticised by the neighborhood as an "eye sore", it reacted by adding a privacy screen to the fence, which, while doing next to nothing to make the place look less unkempt, deprived me of the chance to spend several minutes investigating the haphazardly piled items in its yard and enjoying the antics of the kittens each time I went by.

The yellow sign hanging on the building's wall (better seen in the PIP) reads: "Fai del bene e ... dimentica / Fai del male e ... rammenta". A tentative translation into English would sound something like this: "Act kindly and you can forget about it / Act hurtfully and you will remember". I can't help but interpret it as an implied comment on the intolerant attitude of the neighborhood.

Well, act kindly on this HFF so you can forget about it and enjoy whatever comes next!
Have a great weekend, everyone!

A very interesting picture and information Annalia. The type of place that is good to look around but maybe not so good to live close to. It sounds like he tried to make it more acceptable. One man's junk is another man's treasure, I think the saying goes ;-)
A belated HFF Annalia and I wish you a good and safe weekend.

This fence is a sort of barrier to the controversy issued within the community against the owner of this place! Inclusion should prevail to exclusion. Belated HFF, Annalia!

Belated HFF...a mad weekend! I love this! It looks like a hoarder house where nothing ever leaves. Although interesting, they really can drive neighbours crazy.,understandably. Thanks for the share. I am imagining the scene behind the fence!
Have a specially lovely new week!

I like this photo which discreetly reveals the intimacy of this place.
