	Fragments (''frammenti''), like their name suggests, are small broken pieces of other [[Public ~~art~~\|artwork]], and are a sub-set of [[Material Culture\|material culture]]. When larger carvings were destroyed, the remains were often discarded. However, on occasion, remaining fragments were spared and often set into a wall. The fragment is not an intentional piece of artwork; no one makes fragments. Instead, they are the leftovers from grander objects that no longer exist. While they may have once been part of an important artistic [[Sculptures\|sculpture]], they are no longer of much significance.
