Regisole or ignorance .... W sent on February 04, 2015 (21:22) by Paolo P. 28 comments, 1491 views.

, 1/1600 f/2.0, ISO 100, hand held. Pavia, Italy.

Regisole, nome determinato forse dalla copertura in origine dorata e splendente, forse dalla mano tesa del re raffigurato (Teodorico??) protesa verso il sole... La statua originale risale, forse, al VI secolo e ne parlò sia Francesco Petrarca in una lettera all'amico Giovanni Boccaccio sia Leonardo nel 1490. L'ignoranza dei politici giacobini pavesi (feticisti bisognosi di simboli più che di contenuti ... e forse verrebbe da citare G.B. Vico....) ne decretò la parziale distruzione nel 1796. Nel 1935 fu dato incarico allo scultore Francesco Messina di rifare la statua il più possibile simile all'originale. Da allora vige la tradizione goliardica di dipingere "i gioielli" del poderoso equino con i colori più vivi e sgargianti; tradizione bonariamente tollerata dal popolo pavese cosciente che l'Università rappresenta, oggi, la maggiore "industria" cittadina. Tuttavia, dipingere di giallo anche il volto, così come si osserva in questi giorni, è sfregio e spregio, oltraggio all'intelletto stesso (ammesso che ve ne sia traccia) dell'attore di tale scempio, uno dei tanti che, purtroppo, rappresentano il futuro prossimo della società

The mother of stupid is always pregnant!
In this country we interpret the concept of democracy with doing what you want, especially coli commons. civic education, nothing. These are the results.

I agree, I fully share your thoughts, completely lacking a basic awareness.
Hello and thanks.

Always Pavia, a city with a very nice town, but I did not think to find so neglected.
