Love Locks

Pittsburgh Oakland

 

The custom of placing "love locks" on fences seems to have originated in Europe. The custom is thought to be inspired by Federico Moccia’s Italian novel, “I Want You.” In the book, a couple places a bicycle lock around a lamppost and then casts the key into the River Tiber as a gesture of their love.
