Giant Pink Rabbit on Italian Hill

An enormous pink bunny has been erected on an Italian mountainside where it will stay for the next 20 years.

Knitted by 'dozens' of grannies out of pink wool, the purpose of the 60m long rabbit is... unknown.

The things one finds wandering in a landscape: familiar things and utterly unknown, like a flower one has never seen before, or, as Columbus discovered, an inexplicable continent;
and then, behind a hill, as if knitted by giant grandmothers, lies this vast rabbit, to make you feel as small as a daisy.
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 rabbitís 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.

A pink pooka! Oh boy! :D

Is it my imagnination or are the pink bunnies entrails pouring out ? It's going to really confuse the aliens when they fly over.
