Talking Wascally Wabbit

Some 1600mt up Mt Colletto Fava in Piemonte Italy there's a quite unusual sight, a giant 60mt tall pink knitted rabbit. Notice his woolen guts spilling out into the mountain side.

Google Earth it.
Lat 44 14 39
Long 7 46 11


From the book Not In the Guide Book by Alex and James Turnbull.

What a classic, something you don't see everyday.

I'll have to email the cousins in Italy and see what they know about it.

Cheers
