The art of Italian window dressing....


The first two shop fronts are located in Prato, i still dont really know what to make of them and to be quite honest they scare me... A knight defending the valour of some incredibly tacky craft lamps???... ...Italian Michael Jackson Mannequin meets Captain Snooze or something more sinister...??? 








...The hog head hanging outside the deli , in case its not clear, is wearing spectacles on the end of his snout, it was a disturbing find, him glassily staring, his leg hanging separately nearby...








...the strapping young lad in green velvet is, like the hog, a Sienese resident, these encounters took place whilst rambling in the gothic splendour of Siena...





..........a giant Sienese steak dressed in the fruits of nature as an enticement to enter the restaurant it was arranged in the window in such a way that is was like a shrine which demanded reverence....
