Dog owners on a walk through the streets of South Tyrol's capital Bolzano. Christoph Sator/dpa
Of course there would be quieter places for a Pinscher to do his business in Bolzano, Italy.
But now, in South Tyrol's capital, he squats in Waltherplatz, right in front of the cathedral.
The owner, mid-20s, fur-trimmed down jacket, dog on a lead, doesn't seem to care much. He doesn't even look up from his phone. Then the dog and owner are gone again.
The legacy is left behind — right in the center of the busy square. You can guess how it ends.
But scenes like this are soon to be a thing of the past in Italy's northernmost province with its half million inhabitants.
