Farmers worldwide have employed scarecrows since ancient times. According to Focus.it, miniature statues of the guardian deity Priapus were used in Ancient Rome to deter birds, as noted by the 1st-century BC poet Tibullus in his first book of poetry.
This miniature scarecrow village from My French Twist is simple but very sweet. I assembled this for my sons until they were teenagers. Of course, by that age, they were only interested in eating the miniature candies lining its pumpkin patch!
Pair of large Italian scarecrow figures, from J.W. Co., Italy.
One scarecrow figure wearing a tuxedo and top hat, protruding straw from leg, neck and back, tied baggy pants and standing on a patch of green grass. He measures 14" high and 11" long.
The other figure is a female scarecrow wearing a straw hat, skirts, a backwards shirt, and her bosom stuffed with 2 objects, one being a groud . She measures 13 1/4" high and 12 1/2" long. There is some open work on the figure's skirt. protruding straw and the figure is mounted on green grass. The hat has been repaired, there is a tiny piece of terra cotta on the left hand so possibly something may have broken off.
They are in otherwise good condition and have an amazing presentation.
It's sort of funny, I can remember a conversation that I had at 10 years old so vividly, yet I nearly forget my keys every morning. But that was 8 years ago, Dad always knew that Tommy freaked me out, so he would use him in his punishments. Tommy wasn't even our scarecrow first, he belonged to my Grandparents. When my Dad was 7, my grandparents took him on a trip to Italy. They were staying at a farm that was also a B&B. On their last day there, as "a gift for being such great guests", the mother of the man who owned the farm gave my grandparents Tommy.
Tommy was a pretty large scarecrow, his whole body measured about 6'5. His face was always pretty human like. His face was actually light brown leather morphed into a pretty spot on human face. A red B is carved into each of his "cheeks" (those have been there since Italy). He always wore a straw hat. If it ever started to fall apart, we would buy a new one. As for clothing, Tommy was always dressed for success. Instead of overalls and plaid, my Dad dressed him up in a cheap grey suit he bought at the thrift store. Since then, his suit has gotten pretty tattered, but Dad says that "it gives him character". To top it all off, are his hands and feet. My Grandfather on my Dad's side was in the military for 16 years, so when we inherited the farm, my Dad attached my Grandpa's old version of SAP gloves, and combat boots to Tommy. But the creepiest thing about Tommy isn't whats on the outside, but what's on the inside. Tommy isn't stuffed with straw, but a mixture of animal hair from the Italian farm originally, plus some from our farm whenever he would have small rips, and human hair from local barber shops. I always asked my Dad why, but he never really had an answer, he just said that it was how he was... So that's Tommy, just imagine seeing that on a crucifix, wouldn't that scare the hell out of you? Well he traumatized me!
What is the St. Charles Scarecrow Festival? It is put on every year around Halloween, since as long as I can remember, and this year took place from October 11-13, 2013. It consists of food vendors, live bands, a carnival, scarecrows, childrens festivities, food eating contests and a scarecrow contest (that we entered).

But his claims from the Allied invasion of Italy suggest that Maskelyne helped the Allies take over rural Italy by building a 12-foot tall scarecrow of fire and metal that convinced some superstitious Italians that the devil was fighting side-by-side with the British. The Italians locked themselves in their homes, leaving the British to continue north unmolested.

(42) Interestingly this form of cultural appropriation of aSouthern culture and its translation into a Northern and Gothic discourse wasresisted by Italian authors of the Romantic period. In his Lettera semiseriadi Grisostomo (1816) Giovanni Berchet translated and discussed Burger's'Lenore' and 'Der wilde Jager' but did not suggest thatItalian Romanticism should adopt these themes and atmospheres. By contrast hedrew a clear line between Italian and German(ic) structures of feeling andthought. Similarly, in his later essays for II conciliatore, Berchet rejecteda literature populated with the ghosts and spectres typical of the Northerntraditions; while, another theorist of Italian Romanticism, Ermes Visconti,refused an idea of the Romantic as mainly characterised by gloomy and Gothicthemes.
