Author: Urine. Carlo Magnani-Riccoti. Title: Il Sindaco della Citta di Novara - Manifesto.
Description: Novara, Miglio 1862. Broadside 56x39cm tipped on card. Old folds, a nice copy. ¶ Magnani-Roccoti, first mayor of modern Novara, warns the citizens of Novara that the piss sodden streets of the city will be tolerated no more and that police will prosecute with utmost rigour anyone sploshing urine around the place. I wonder whether the urine issue was related to the recent invention of a beverage by Signor Campari of Novara. And I wonder why the existence of a manifesto against piss strikes me as irresistible.
