More porcelain!! Here is a close up of one beautiful lily shelled Paderno insulator. Besides it you can see a nice "go-with"; a warning sign written in Italian, reading "Chi Tocca Muore" - Danger of Death. This sign is quite old, I guess its from the 20's. It was rescued from some big steel towers that once hosted some really big four-part insulators, but sadly they were broken. You see the name Edison...if I know the history correct, Edison was involved in the building of the first hydroelectric plant in Italy.
