    The authors deal with the Levi-Civita spacetime, which is a cylindrically symmetric static vacuum solution of Einstein's field equations. They find a case in which the axial and angular coordinates switch meaning. The geodesics of the spacetime are determined and a physical source satisfying the energy condition is studied in detail.
