We went to a restaurant where you find a seat, look at the menu and decide what you want. Then you go to the counter, order it and pay for it, and you are then given this round disk. When your food is ready the disk starts flashing and pulsing. You go get your food at the counter.
Part of the fun of being in a foreign country is that there are things that baffle you. For instance, what is the meaning of this street sign? Area where you cannot light a lighter?
This lifting device is to allow people to work on the roof. However this is also how you move in Florence. We have seen twice movers take stuff out of houses through a window down on an equivalent lifting device.
To end with, we are on our way back to Canada in a hotel room in Milan. It is a modern hotel, but there is no electricity in the room unless you plug the room key in a special slot. It is, no doubt, to make sure no one leaves lights on when they are not in the room.

Those disks are very common here and I recently stayed in a hotel room with the same 'card for electricity' requirement. I do like that it's energy efficient. I think the sign means No Smoking. :o)
