I think it is a dressed up skeleton.

Whatever it is it's bizarre.

A Google Image search of "calamita cosmica" yeilds lots of photos of the giant skeleton, but none of it 'dressed up'.

Jeez, a dumb old green plastic tarp? I thought it was some kind of artistic statement! Apparently the BEV cameras caught the giant skeleton pre-unveiling.

Here's a bad Babelfish translation of the caption:
The extension of Gino De Dominicis, entitled "Cosmic Magnet", will be inaugurated the 26 june, in the courtyard of the Vanvitelliana Size. In the wait of this great cultural event, some of the works more impressive already have arrived to the Contagious disease hospital.

Lazzaretto = Contagious disease hospital, apparently.
