Italians must be good with their hands...real good. As witnessed in Italian newspaper La Repubblica's feature on hand-art called: ANIMANI: Omaggio al Genio di Mariotti (Animal Hands: Homage to the Genius of Mariotti) (here)
Mario Mariotti (1936-1997) was a conceptual artist from Italy who transformed his hands into fantastical creatures and shapes -- peacocks, flamingos, orchestra conductor, soccer players, track athletes, gazelle, musicians, zebra, giraffes, dalmation, owl...yup, a freakin' genius with his hands. Probably in more ways than one too -- *wink*.
