Honored Italian

Caption ideas sought

This strange photo was purchased at an antique shop in South Burlington, Vermont. It was among several featuring a military policeman demonstrating that the ship they were on was pitching to a high degree. One of the photos showed him leaning over a descending stairwell in a similar fashion. I like this one because his head aligned with the starburst surrounding the clock on the wall behind him. This photo was displayed in my cubicle at work with this caption:

For his years of dedicated service at the tower, Guido Bucconi was crowned "Mr. Pisa" by Italy's grateful Ministry of Tourism.
