**********Siamo nella Sala Dei Giganti, una delle più note stanze di Palazzo Te, un grandioso edificio, progettato a Mantova nel cinquecento da Giulio Romano e da lui affrescato con l'aiuto di numerosi collaboratori; la Sala si presenta a base quadrata sovrastata da un soffitto a cupola. Nella cupola c'è Zeus che scaglia fulmini contro i Giganti che stan cercando di ascendere all'Olimpo. **********Nonostante la base quadrata, le smussature degli angoli tra le pareti e le smussature degli angoli tra le pareti e la volta, rendono l'affresco un tutto unico, tutto intorno: lo spettatore, stupito e straniato si trova d'improvviso al centro dell'evento e sperimenta una vertiginosa realtà virtuale estesa a 360°, realizzata cinque secoli prima che gli informatici la inventassero. **********All'interno c'è Paolo, il chitarrista, amico d'infanzia, già ritratto in “Lock Down”; e c'è Antonio, il bassista, amico d'infanzia che non rivedevo dall'esame di Anatomia del 1982 a Parma: lui si laureò a Bologna e diventò Anestesista: lui addormenta i suoi pazienti e poi li risveglia, restituendoli ancora al mondo dei vivi, in genere quasi tutti; inoltre suona egregiamente il basso. °°°°°°°°°°°Paolo mi chiese che fotografassi, a futura memoria, la felicità sua e degli amici musicisti, nei nostri luoghi del basso mantovano. Quindi, in un giorno di grigliate, lambrusco e musica scattai oltre duecento foto: nonostante ciò non riuscii a riprendere bene tutti insieme i musicisti che suonavano e si dimenavano fra leggii, microfoni, aste, amici, chitarre, cavi e casse. °°°°°°°°°°°Così, lavorandoci, Paolo, Antonio and friends, musici a chilometri zero, sono entrati nella Sala Dei Giganti: anni prima la Sala, affittata per parecchi soldi dal teeam di Jovanotti, fu il setting del video “L'ombelico del mondo”; fra animosi suonatori di tamburo, entrarono: una tigre, un lama, un serpente, un pizzaiolo acrobatico, uno sbandieratore d'alta caratura che lancia due bandiere fino al soffitto; elefante e dromedario rimasero in zona. Proprio lì, in quegli anni, a me invece i custodi vietarono di far foto; spiegazione: “le macchine tascabili, benché a flash spento, emettono raggi che potrebbero danneggiare gli affreschi”.

Hi Giancarlo,
I congratulate you first of all for the beautiful story related to this shot. The images I'm seeing, combined with the words that present them, tell me a lot about who you are.
I know Palazzo Te well, visited several times (the last time with a guide), and in fact this room has something magical... I come to Mantua every now and then (I have relatives and friends over there, in the city and in the province). Great land of beautiful people and great work.
Greetings again,
Marcello

Beautiful shot, magnificent contrast between ancient and modern in one of the most beautiful halls of Palazzo Te, in my Mantua. Congratulations

:-) thank you so much Stefano.... I live in the province of Mantua..... here it is quite improper to literally speak of "Nice shot" :-) :-) :-) :-) it's like in the famous Platonic myth of the cave: Those shadows are the only things the prisoners have ever seen, forced as they are to stay there.... So, says Socrates, those people believe that shadows are real objects. ...... :-) : hello, best regards, Giancarlo
