Faithful readers (and perhaps those unfaithful – though we don’t like to dwell upon them) will remember the great excitement with which we posted our Key to My Heart story last August. That late-summer dispatch told of a wildly popular ritual staged on the Ponte Milvio or Milvian Bridge, in which lovers of every age, nationality, and gender distribution hang magic-marker inscribed locks on the bridge’s light posts and throw the keys deep into the murky Tiber River. The romantic act is meant to insure sentimental longevity.
Now, just in time for Valentine’s Day, comes the announcement that the Ponte Milvio and its lovers have appeared in Second Life. So, if you’re not going to make it to Rome in time for a February 14th lock-up on the bridge, you can undertake the act virtually, flinging your key into a digital Tiber as you and your beloved exchange a graphic kiss on the two-dimensional version of the historic bridge.
