Considering the Hotel Villa Cipressi in Como?
A VT member wrote the following comment about visiting Como:
Takumachi sister city by Aurorae
I hope I reembered the name well, if not, my apologies... In front of the Aero Club, there is a small park with this bizarre and hideous monument, that was errected to celebrate anniversary of sister city of Como, Takumachi in Japan. There are inscriptions in Japanese and Italian, and the sculptures show children trapped in strange positions, as if tortured, I really thought it was awful. :(
