Years ago I heard about and wrote a blurb for the old bean on A giant knitted rabbit in Italy [that] can be seen from space by visitors to Google Earth. – Telegraph.  Up until a 2011, it looks like, people were still talking about it on web boards and travel sites.  The giant bunny is on the Colletto Fava mountain in Italy, lying like a ginormous abandoned stuffed toy with its entrails spilling out onto the ground beside it.  It was originally erected by an art group called Gelatin on

September 18, 2005, at 11:30 am and is expected to last until 2025.

“We foresee that in twenty years the pink puppet (made of straw-stuffed fabric) will be swallowed by the weather, devoured by cattle, completely erased by the weather and nature” said Gelitin in an interview.

But what’s happened to it now?  I scoped out Google Earth just a couple weeks ago.  To me it looks like barren land, deprived of sun for a few years, is starting to come back to life within the shadow outline of the bunny that is no longer there.  I suppose it could be bleached and growing grass of it’s own, but I couldn’t find any news about it’s decay or removal.  It’s still a far cry from the estimated 2025.
