Moggaraz
Moggaraz is a very pleasant (and touristy) town in the Sierra de Francia, Salamanca Province. All of Its 300 odd inhabitants in 1967 agreed to have their photos taken and large-scale paintings were taken from those photos and placed on the walls of their homes, some years later. Whether you find this strange or superb, it it is certainly different! Whoever pitched this concept to these naturally conservative and cautious country folk must have been a sales genius!

Andy Rodker club has replied to RabbitroundtheworldI think all 388 survive.
The paintings (of the photo portraits) were done and put up some time after the photos were taken and I got the impression from the blurb on the tourist info board (I forget the exact details as it was the summer before last), that it was in the 90s. Many houses have upward of a dozen photos indicating multiple occupancy. Only a small proportion of the younger inhabitants would still live at the same address. many of them will have migrated to the cities anyway in search of work. But it is in a very beautiful and touristy region (Sierra de Francia in Salamanca Province - well worth a visit, Rabbit) and I imagine Town Hall and a local artist saw the photos as an excellent resource and they got the agreement of the inhabitants and surviving portrait subjects to try something different. I will find another photo from my pages somewhere with another example and give you the link.
Here it is. www.ipernity.com/doc/2247598/43235746/in/album/999416
