The theme for our first ever “My Italy Photo Contest” on Facebook was spooky photos taken in Italy, and our winner did not disappoint! Dustin Manley’s submission of a mural painted on a barber shop in Pomezia, Rome is definitely the stuff of nightmares, and perfect for the month of Halloween.
As you can see above, it depicts a skeleton barber cutting the hair of another skeleton in a scene that reminds me a bit of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Talk about hair-raising!
Unfunny puns aside, however, this is not the only spooky photo Dustin has taken during his walks around his town in Rome and his trips to Naples. He shared these other great photos with me as well. Prepare to be spooked!
As the winner of our first-ever photo contest, Dustin’s photo will become the profile picture for the An American in Italy Facebook page. If you would like to see your own photos featured there and on this blog, be sure to watch the Facebook page or subscribe to the newsletter to get the details on November’s photo contest!
Thank you to everyone who entered, and congratulations, Dustin!
