Whenever we travel to a beautiful place, our hearts often desire to stay there forever, or we buy souvenirs like refrigerator magnets, keychains or crockery to remember that place.

Surprisingly, those visiting the Italian lakeside town of Como, can now buy a can of 100 percent authentic air.

As per multiple outlets, ItalyComunica, a communications company is selling 13.5 ounce cans of “pure air from the most beautiful lake in the world” for approximately $11 (€9.90) each.

These cans are marketed as “luxurious” souvenirs on the company’s website and are adorned with a dark blue label that features an image of a boat sailing through the water.
