Just North of Florence, Villa Demidoff, Italy stands Appennino Colossus, 35ft tall. Erected in 1579, rough idea for sculpture is to combine landscape and man; smooth skin emerging out of rough terrain or metamorphosing back into mountain. He even has stalactites for shaggy beard.

It is modelled after Titan Atlas, and contains rooms and grottoes inside; their walls studded with shells and crystals. Furthermore there is space in its head for a small orchestra to play music, and there is also a fireplace there too, and when lit, smoke would emerge from nose.

"The colossus was erected in the late 1580s by the Flemish sculptor Jean de Boulogne, better known as Giambologna, as a personification of the Apennine mountains." - Wiki

That's one of the most amazing objects I've ever seen. I love the idea that the interior fireplace vents through the nostrils...
