I Have Never Really Taken Much Notice Of An Ampersand,

the symbol that means 'and'




 but Rome-based Tommaso Guerra takes a look at the symbol in great detail,

 one of his greatest talents is lettering with chalk


Guerra has been commissioned to draw impeccable signs for restaurants and business around the world, as well as public pieces like this decorative ampersand right on the sidewalk, I will now look at ampersands in a different light and I never knew that the alphabet at one time had 27 letters, or 28 if you use the letter thorn (Þþ)!
