How Long Do Yogurt Covered Raisins Last

Diagonali e Arte

Nonostante one of the authors of the catalog we annoy them with knowledge about the presence of mood in the work of the symbols of epileptics and dissertations in a sort of raving on the branch of poplar pseudobotanico sick, we were finally able to admire the Palazzo Marino, the seat of the Municipality of Milan, Caravaggio's masterpiece.

We noticed surprisingly (?) Of how the ideas gathered by Kandinsky in "Point Line and Surface" on the rules of composition of the visual arts (not only) be confirmed and can be easily found in the masterpieces of Western art.

The splendid diagonal discordant and harmonious, the real axis respectively dinamimo and balance could not be better defined as the cornerstones of the story represented.

one hand on Paul discordant line, whose feet are emerging from a dark and terrifying in color, in the progression of the body, takes on hues from cadavers become gradually more and more lives up to the height of the face blind.

other hand, the harmonic Director (confirmed by the soldier's spear) joining, reflecting the faith of Paul and found the figures of Christ, the latter supported by a beautiful angel.

The composition is expressed not only fulfilled the definition of a symbolic narrative elements, but in their proper disposal according to detailed compositional schemes.

The exhibition is free and I recommend it (but watch petulant author of the catalog) ;-))

How Many Wicks Does A Havdalah Candle Have

L'ultimo Maron Glacè....


L'ultimo Maron Glacè.... Gli ho fatti durare fin che ho potuto. From My Birthday ... A true record. Who has known for at least one knows that autumn is my favorite dessert. Usually my mom gives them to me, but this year if he is forgotten.
sign of the time? Or maybe it was a sign of what was to happen. Everything went wrong from my own birthday. Things have happened that I did not understand and that I could not manage.
As if I were a bomb exploded in his hand. A bomb of pain.
A black veil was lifted and was placed on me .... Fortunately, the character I see the sun even at night .... But it has left its mark.

A feeling of powerlessness in the face of multiple of misunderstandings and misconceptions that makes you just shut up and do not move. I felt like an elephant in a shop of glassware. Every breath, "broke" something. With human implications of an incredible fury
The worst birthday of recent years ....

Cupid Shuffle Instructions

Tutta colpa di Tondelli

There are books worth reading, and we believe the novel by Nicholas Pezzoli, "All fault Tondelli "Kaos Edizioni, is among them. It 's a frightening and funny text, funny, painful, exhilarating and depressing.

E 'then built on the principle of' antithesis and said, paraphrasing the subtitle, the story of an author's tragicomic novel in the Italian publishing world.

Legends laughs heartily but bitter laughs (and thus also synaesthetic ) discovering the dark maze of the publishing world Italian to help prevent young authors (except for the recommended or those who are self-financing) to publish a single line.

The subtitle are a paradox (speaking about the adventures of a unpublished author who is actually published - the text is an autobiography of Pezzoli) and an adjective that evokes a tragic comedy or a comic tragedy, which is an oxymoron .

whole novel and then played on assumptions, assuming the player a lot of knowledge of names, famous authors both classic and contemporary, even going as a grotesquely deformed in the titles of the novels mentioned, just relying on the ability of the reader recognize anyway ... One speaks of the novel "Peto Thunderer has left the group" (deformation of the novel by Brizzi Jack Frusciante left the group ") and" Go where you bring the hamster Lesbian, deformation ironic and iconic (or maybe just symbolic ) to "Go where your heart takes you" under the best seller by Susanna Tamaro. All this because

Pezzoli Nicola wrote his novel, taking into account the existence, which he evoked, four players model: the first model reader of the novel are the characters themselves (all that really exist in the novel act ... (which is actually a history irreverent, but always based on vissuto e sul reale); il secondo sono tutti gli aspiranti scrittori che si riconoscono, mutata mutandis , nelle vicende che il Pezzoli narra; il terzo sono gli aspiranti giovani scrittori che non hanno ancora iniziato il loro viaggio nel purgatorio del mondo editoriale italiano e che quindi lo scoprono (con orrore e forse senza crederci davvero) nelle pagine dell'autore; il quarto lettore modello è composto da tutti coloro che invece non hanno alcuna velleità scrittoria e mai hanno pensato di pubblicare niente e che scoprono, con stupore, quanto distorte siano, nella maggior parte dei casi, le trafile per la pubblicazione (quando raramente avviene) di un autore inedito e quale il prezzo da pagare, per l'esaudimento del proprio sogno.

Insomma, il testo del Pezzoli, che appare a prima vista come un libro leggero e divertente, poggia in realtà su una solida base semantica, ha radici nella semiotica e fra i suoi frutti vi sono numerosi escamotages comunicativi molto ben riusciti e oltre a essere una feroce denuncia della baronìa esistente nella grande editoria italiana, è un interessante esempio di comunicazione verbale efficace.

In tanta leggerezza una sferzante denuncia, in un testo goliardico e disperato, una solida base comunicativa, che vanta anche le qualità scrittorie preferite da Calvino:
Leggerezza, Rapidità, Esattezza, Visibilità e Molteplicità.

Nonostante ciò (o forse proprio why?) Pezzoli's novel has been censored for now from all the cultural pages of the major Italian newspapers, except by the English daily "ABC".
