The story behind the image

Another short trip to Tuscany in Italy brought us to the beautiful town of Volterra in October 2002. It is not as busy as Florence, Siena, or San Gimignano, but it has all the charms you would expect from a historic town in Tuscany: old buildings, small streets, and a lot of traditional Italian lifestyle.

This image shows a a sculpture that was put up in front of a gallery in one of the many narrow streets and alleys in the historical town center. The artist managed to (almost) play down the nudity of the group while still creating room for your own ideas.

I love it.
