A sculpture in the shape of [giant skeleton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exoskyn) shows itself opposite to the cathedral of Milan, Italy. The work, of 28 meters of length and 8 tons of weight it is a work of the Italian sculptor Gino De Dominicis, who realized a few months before his death. With this sculpture and the Duomo in the back you can feel in the middle of the [scary movie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1). I know that the art makes your feelings higher but in this case is a big size strange sensation.
