Penthouse Free Letter

Green Grub

I got up early, before the bells ringing, because I knew it was there and wanted to get there before the crowd.
I've done it.
Here it is: the lawn.








What impression along the cable. Yet it is grass, grass easy, but to me it really seemed to walk "sull'ova. I
walker far and wide across the Piazza del Duomo, which was not doing this for years because that is the undisputed territory of tourists and Florentines we just pass you if you must, between an elbow smadonnando and another, and appearing in an incredible amount of photos that depict us in every corner of the planet.
A really great consolation.
Behind the Baptistery, there is also a post:









is the twin of the column next to it. It is said that during the funeral of Zenobi, beloved bishop of Florence (fifth century AD.), Then made a saint, the coffin has hit a dead tree standing near the Baptistery and this has put back the leaves. To commemorate the event was erected where there was a column the tree (I hope once dried up permanently) and today we have a new post, too.
Then there's David. Well, not HIM a copy.













Made of plastic, but same size. In this regard there will be a conference on the future of art in plastic. Yes, because the plastic after a few decades we start to crumble and is then irretrievably lost a fortune. But if the artist uses plastic has probably come to terms with its perishable essence, has taken into account the fact that not long remain in the collective memory, at least the tactile, physical. So his business, no?
You do not like plastic, he had understood.
So today there is a lawn around the Duomo.
We're not thinking about how much it cost and how those could have been used otherwise €.
Let's enjoy the countryside.
