**********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”.
