Legend has it that grinding your heel on the bull's testicles at the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II guarantees you will return to the city. Because of constant pirouettes on the heel made by tourists visiting Milan, the pink tesserae that make up its testicles have been worn down, forming a small crater, city authorities said.

Three Roman mosaics, including a dolphin motif, unearthed in Thalheim are rare finds in Upper Austria, revealing the elite lifestyle during the imperial period.
