What are we looking at, there? The perspective seems very wonky.

It's in Italy.
My great grandpa Enzio Nero built the house my parents reside in to
this day, and, let's just say the walls and floors are challenging.
We've found many a Vino bottle walled up while we've repaired wiring
over the decades.
Cool image though!
Thanks, Didz!

I'm looking at the right edge of the "mural" -- the way it is almost preternaturally straight, and seems to be IN FRONT of the balcony.

Yeah. The edging on the roof looks wrong, too.

It looks Photoshopped.

I wonder why the hair color was changed.

I didn't realize at first that the spot on the recreation where Superman's lips are is a mustache.  I kept trying to figure out what it was I was looking at. I also noticed he has an earring. I guess this was done to dodge trademark laws?

I had imagined the modifications were an homage to a real person.
