Aaron, I don't know about Italy's new tradition but I have heard /read that it is BASICALLY A CHINESE TRADITION... you can google "Lover's Lock and you may find this information -- Locking your love is the ancient Chinese custom of symbolically locking one's love on a never-ending chain. You can forever lock your love with a soul mate, family member, friend or anyone else who is important in your life. BTW, it is lovely idea and perfect entry shot!!! :) Voted.
