Big Bench No. 399

Big Benches are large, colorful, oversized benches (approximately 2 meters high and 3 meters wide), positioned in scenic panoramic locations across Italy to offer those who sit there a special vantage point and a "childlike" feeling.
These giant benches were created in 2010 in Piedmont by American designer Chris Bangle and have since spread to many Italian regions and even abroad, becoming a true tourist phenomenon and a factor in local development. Each Big Bench is part of the "Big Bench Community Project," a nonprofit initiative that supports local communities and artisans, encouraging slow, quality tourism.
Visitors to these benches can also collect a "Big Bench passport" and request a stamp for each bench visited, making the experience even more engaging, like a treasure hunt through spectacular landscapes and nature.
