Description: Corner of the orphanage of the Chiesa della Pietà in Venice where the foundling wheel once stood. The inscription declares, citing a 12 November 1548 papal bull of Paul III, that God inflicts "maledictions and excommunications" on all who abandon a child of theirs whom they have the means to rear, and that they cannot be absolved unless they first refund all expenses incurred.
