For example, couples must throw the keys into the river immediately after attaching the locks . They must also write their names on one side of the lock in felt-tipped pen, adding the date of their passage through Florence on the other side. Chains and overly large locks are frowned upon.' http://www.margaret-marks.com/Transblawg/archives/002331.html (with links) I saw some padlocks in Florence and found out they are called lucchetti d’amore – maybe these are the same thing – from a newspaper article:
