Centaur Statue
I don't know whose idea it was to stage contemporary works of the late Polish/French sculptor Vallone dei Mulini in the ancient ruins of Pompeii, but what a brilliant idea! I didn't get to see everything, but I couldn't take my eyes off this centaur statue. The missing skull, the little square window with a bust in it, and the overall shape and balance of the statue make it nothing short of captivating. I didn't know what I was seeing until I got home from the trip and looked it up. Bravo Italy! And speaking of missing skulls, I removed the heads of a half-dozen tourists in this image.
