A Gigantic Stuffed Bunny on Top of a Hill in Italy: But WHY?

Trekking up the sides of Northern Italy’s mountainside, you might be alarmed when you stumble upon a rather bizarre and unexpected sight: a humongous pink rabbit laying down on top of a hill. By the look of its face and guts spilled out at its side, it seems as if the bunny fell right out of the sky and landed on his back. Yikes!



“Hase” or “hare” is a 55-meter long, 5-meter thick knitted bunny put together by Vienna art collective ‘Gelitin’ on top of a mountain called Colletto Fava. The huge bunny was created with one purpose and that is to make the audience feel just as small as Gulliver did during his travels.

Hare is made completely of fabric and straw and is going to be left there until it completely decays. The art collective that put him together predicts that with the help of weather and the occasional hungry cattle, it’s expected to be completely diminish by 2025.





Hikers are encouraged to climb up on and all over Hase and relax after a long trip up to the top of the mountainside, as long as the giant stuffed bunny is still intact. You can reach Hase from the town of Artesina, Piedmont, in Tuscany, Northern Italy. If you aren’t lucky enough to be in Italy, the pink stuffed toy can also be visited virtually through Google Maps.
