... I remember one of the first lessons at the university, now really long time ago, in a 'broad and antiquated classroom with huge paintings of religious subjects, hung on the old walls, filled with squares of white paper (later discovered that they were being restored, although for all years remained unchanged) and a professor pretty small though (once sought help from a girl to approach the high windows) that, so long-winded, he kept his lectures on medieval art history. The specific lesson of which I speak, behind him hangs a huge slide with the image, in black and white, of a beautiful naked woman, in ecstatic contemplation and reaching out to the viewer, with small and finely turned feet tied to a huge iron chain ending in the usual ball, typical drawings representing the inmates. The girl was quiet while waiting to be freed from the chain to reach then freedom ... The particular worrying about the matter, still and at unexpected times the day worries me is that she waited, quiet and peaceful, to erode the thick iron chain with a drop of water, slowly, flowing from one end jug placed on a pedestal, classic ... Only at the end of the lesson and drew his usual gaffe, I realized that this was the cappresentazione of PATIENCE!
This image I have never forgotten just because it represents for me the lure ever made ... I really need to learn patience, but alas my nature leads me to be perpetually anxious and want everything resolved as quickly as possible without understanding, especially in a period like the one I'm living, the importance just be patient and give the right time to digest everything and shape it to my advantage by becoming a positive start in what was negative. Perhaps recalling the image I still! Congratulations and good luck to me then ...
