The Colossus of the Apennines... sent on December 29, 2018 (8:52) by Ronda. 28 comments, 907 views.

at 10mm, 1/60 f/16.0, ISO 100, tripod.

Pratolino, Firenze ... ottobre 2018 ... Si narra che il celebre artista fiammingo Jean de Boulogne, detto il Giambologna, particolarmente attivo presso la corte fiorentina ed autore, tra il 1579 ed il 1580, di questa imponente e spettacolare struttura raffigurante un essere mitologico metà uomo e metà montagna, abbia esclamato al termine della sua fatica : "Ho fatto l'Appennino ma mi pento di averlo fatto a Pratolino ..." ... E' vero infatti che se il Colosso, gigantesco manufatto in muratura rivestita di intonaco e pietra, fosse stato eretto in una qualsivoglia piazza fiorentina anzichè nel parco della pur sfarzosa residenza medicea di Pratolino, sarebbe ben presto divenuto un'attrazione planetaria! ...
