In Verona you need to fondle Juliet's right breast. It is tradition.
In Edinburgh you have to pet the Greyfriars Bobby (dog).
In Munich it is some nameless young woman in the street market.
However:
In Florence Italy it is the pig (really a boar) just off the Plaza República.
The lines are long. If you pet the pig, put money in its mouth, you are not only blessed you make sure of a return to Florence.
Now:
There is a secret. During the day the line is long and folks are bringing coins to put in its mouth. If the coin is washed out the luck is good. My hint for you is that following dinner go for a walk in the Plaza. There is a Merry-Go-Round and lover's walking, and lights dancing off the walls.
And then there is the bronze wild boar called "The Pig". No one is around. The shops are closed and there is no line. You don't have to put money in its mouth or pet it. You can just enjoy the myth.
