Holiday at Museums: Roman museum
Posted by moscarelliJul 26
We have so many Roman relics that we don’t know what do with them. Some years ago, someone thought to take some Roman statues closed in a warehouse and show them inside an old electric station. The zone is populated by abandoned industrial building of the first half of the 20th century. So it is a special view, Roman statues among industrial archaeology.
The power of industry, machines upon men, electricity that moves the world. Now a relic from the past.
The contrast is evident and intriguing. It was a good idea. Even because these statues were closed inside boxes.
A mosaic with an hunt. In these days I studied animals that fought in arenas. I still have to design the rules engine for these situations but I’m working on it.
Minerva is my preferred goddess. I studiedat the university called “Minerva”. On the back of the computer monitor in my room I have my degree with Minerva on it.
A sensual sphinx.
Husband and wife from another time, blocked on stone with a natural pose. Who were these two? Fantasies reach the mind, a story is created by their aspect. He is a rich and proud man with a place in society. She is a beautiful woman, younger than the husband, a little squeamish, the lady of the house. Or what else? They are dust now, but they seem so real…
So hot around, it is summer. And we were a little tired. We had a great holiday inside our city. And there are more things to see. Another time…
