From the New York Times Bestseller, Eat, Pray, Love: "In Venice in the Middle Ages, there was once a man called a codega -- a fellow you hired to walk in front of you at night with a lit lantern, showing you the way, scaring off thieves and demons, bringing you confidence and protection."

Comment By Graeme- They should still have codegas. Except maybe they should carry flashlights instead of lanterns. That would make me feel a lot safer if I was out on the streets of New York at night.
