Non molti sanno che in Italia c'é l'unico esemplare esistente di Moai fuori dall' Isola di Pasqua . Fu scolpito nel 1987, da undici indigeni maori che abitavano in Italia. Questa opera fu fatta per una trasmissione televisiva italiana, " Alla ricerca dell'Arca " , condotta da Mino Damato. Questo particolare Moai ( scultura conosciuta anche come Teste dell'Isola di Pasqua )  fu scolpito nei pressi di Vitorchiano ( vicino Roma) in quanto lì fu trovata una pietra molto simile a quella usata dagli abitanti dell' Isola di Pasqua .
