I have to
admit that it’s about impossible for me not to be proud to be an Italian
thoroughbred, simply because plenty of the arts, sciences and language and
Latin words still used today in medicine are very much appreciated in this
beautiful country.
It’s a fact
that I’ve been living few steps away from the Santa Barbara Museum of Art and
while I remember visiting it few years ago, I’m pretty confident in saying that
the percentage of works of art from my country is pretty high, well in the two
digits value.
I put here
below a very beautiful website that an Italian reader of my blogs has sent by
email to me and I do so because its main focus is on one of my preferred
Italian researchers, Leonardo Da Vinci (Vinci is the name of a town in Tuscany, where Leonardo
was born) I’m sure
that I mentioned already and posted the picture of the Vitruvian man that’s
truly an expression of huge intelligence and attention to reality, certainly important
for someone who paint
I’m truly
hoping that the websites I put below that are mostly dedicated to t5he
Vitruvian man will justify the reason why I made the same exercise with the
woman who is my judge and who cannot fit in a triangle rectangle, nor a square
or a circle. She can – at best fit in s rectangle, since it looks to me that
her waistline isn’t surely measured in inches, my best guess is that it must be
18 feet long, while her height is about 5 feet.
The perfect
Vitruvian man and my imperfect woman judge (slobber?).
