DaVinci(@BiancoDavinci):Have you ever seen these stone protrusions at the corners of Venice? Before street lighting existed, these stone protrusions were built into the darkest corners of Venice to prevent fraudsters and criminals from hiding there, robbing citizens, or escaping from the authorities. Pissotte also helped keep the city clean. They were built at an angle to increase the risk of splashing, discouraging passersby from urinating in street corners.
