Swing with the Moon in Capri

A Capri these days there is aartwork which is turning out to be the most photographed subject of the island, both by citizens and tourists, and it is a sculpture life size, that is, life-size, entitled "Swing with the Moon".

It is a sculpture in bronze made by the artist Hyacinth Bosco and located in the central and famous small square of the island, right outside. Represents a girl swinging on a swing attached to a slice of the moon, giving the viewer a unique and very particular suggestion.

Admiring it, in fact, makes us a little to dream and takes us into the depths of the sky and gives an even more fairytale air to Capri, already so loved by anyone who sets foot there.

The suggestive girl suspended on the moon

The woman represented in this work is a lot evocative and time of sunset the image becomes even more romantic because the pink and orange lights that paint the sky behind it make the background even more suggestive.

The whole, thus, seems to be a picture framed by the colors of the Sun and the sky, merging the artwork of man with the artwork of nature.

Of course the photos taken every day are thousands and anyone who wishes to take home a unique memory of this experience.
