 Big
Ben is one of London’s most famous landmarks. But recently, another Big Ben
was built in Italy! What’s going on? Well, take a look at the picture
first. The Italian Big Ben on the left looks a little different, right?
Don’t be surprised. It is made
entirely of chocolate!
Italian artist Angelo Feduzzi made the chocolate tower for a Christmas
food festival in Macerata Feltria,
central Italy. The chocolate Big Ben is 11 meters tall and weighs 8 tons. The chocolate
tower took two weeks to put together.
“People have come for miles just to see my chocolate Big Ben. It has
turned out to be the highlight of the festival.
I am very happy and proud to have created something
so successful.” said Feduzzi.
But what if the beautiful chocolate tower melts? Well, you don’t have
to worry about it. Festival
organizers said that daytime temperatures at the moment
in the town are no more than 3 degrees Celsius. So the tower is
in no danger of melting.
The huge chocolate Big Ben will
be standing for a week. Then, it will be sliced up and handed out
to the public. I want a piece
of it, too! Don’t you? |
