After Italians and Greeks, Germans might be the other nation taking care of Ancient Greek and Latin. It’s rare not to see a Latin inscription almost daily. This is perhaps my favorite one in town, from the 19th Century: Salve has been replaced by the pop “Home, sweet home”, which is not a greeting to others but rather a relief you pronounce under your teeth when you get back home. And the building complex is so nice, that I remember passing by 15 years ago as a scene of “Around the world in 80 days” was being shot here.
