I suppose it is difficult to explain the attraction of this store window in Venice.
Believe it or not, the man in the window reminded me of the classical statue of Hermes holding his son. It seemed a modern parody of an ancient feeling.
This is the original on which the parody is based--not my picture. Self parody is common in America but extremely unusual in Italy. Strictly speaking it is not me doing the imitating.
Or he's just a guy at the beach who is stuck minding the baby.
