MYSTERY PHOTO: Archway

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Here’s an interesting-looking archway that may look familiar.  Where is it?  Send your guess to feedback@statehousereport.com — and remember to include your name, home city and contact information. 

Last week’s mystery, “Moon shot,” came from longtime reader Barry Wingard of Florence, who shared this photo near his hometown’s Hotel Florence of a sculpture showing a man and woman trying to lasso the moon.

Several readers correctly identified it, including Kevin Mertens of Greenville, George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Steve Willis of Lancaster; Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas; Elizabeth Jones and Jay Altman, both of Columbia; Frank Bouknight of Summerville; and Bill Segars of Hartsville.  Good one, Barry!

Peel shared: “The statue is one a number of art pieces that have been installed throughout Florence as a part of the city’s public art initiative. The sculpture is called Luna Caprese Grande and was created by Giacinto Bosco, who was born in 1956 in Alcamo, Sicily, and now works in Milan. You can see some of his other work here.”

  • Send us a mystery. If you have a photo that you believe will stump readers, send it along (but make sure to tell us what it is because it may stump us too!)  Send to:  feedback@statehousereport.com and mark it as a photo submission.  Thanks.
