Ai Pioppi Amusement Park

 

In the Italian forest, the Ai Pioppi Playground began as a hobby meant to promote a small restaurant, now after over 40 years, this amusement park, full of one-of-a-kind rides, has all been built by one man. 

This amusement park takes us back to a more simple time, and a testament to human ingenuity and belief in oneself.

Colossus of the Apennines

 

Colossus of the Apennines 

 Sculptor, Giambologna (1580)

Measuring about 35 feet tall, it’s one of  the most spectacular feature of the gardens of Villa Medici at Pratolino, now part of Villa Demidoff, located about 7 miles north of Florence, Italy. 

Sculpted as though a minimal margin between nature and man.
