Travel to Italy to see a giant Pink Rabbit
Filed in archive European insider by Melissa Petri on September 21, 2005

This art piece (let me use that term loosely) lies high in the Colletto Fava mountain, in northern Italy's Piedmont region.
"The toilet-paper-pink creature lies on its back: a rabbit-mountain like Gulliver in Lilliput. Happy you feel as you climb up along its ears, almost falling into its cavernous mouth, to the belly-summit and look out over the pink woolen landscape of the rabbit�s body, a country dropped from the sky;
ears and limbs sneaking into the distance; from its side flowing heart, liver and
intestines.
Happily in love you step down the decaying corpse, through the wound, now small like a maggot, over woolen kidney and bowel. Happy you leave like the larva that gets its wings from an innocent carcass at the roadside.
Such is the happiness which made this rabbit. I love the rabbit the rabbit loves me."
I still can't decide how I feel about this pink monstrosity.
