la testa di San Giovani Battista
Il Battista morì a causa della sua predicazione. Egli condannò pubblicamente la condotta di Erode Antipa, che conviveva con la cognata Erodiade; il re lo fece prima imprigionare, poi, per compiacere la bella figlia di Erodiade, Salomè, che aveva ballato ad un banchetto, lo fece decapitare.
La morte per decapitazione ha fatto sì che Giovanni Battista sia divenuto famoso anche come san Giovanni decollato. La celebrazione del martirio di Giovanni Battista o celebrazione di San Giovanni Decollato è fissata al 29 agosto (probabile data del ritrovamento della reliquia della testa del Battista). Molte chiese, luoghi di culto e città sono dedicate a questo santo.
A marble sculpture by Polish artist Igor Mitoraj of the Head of St John the Baptist. The sculpture, made in 2006, is in the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli in Rome.”

flying to liberty
to freedom
pointing to high
believing on a dream…
to freedom
pointing to high
believing on a dream…
falling into the sea
ignoring the danger

a foggy guess
…the fog erased the landscape
the light was just pale reflexions on the clouds,
brightening slightly the buildings and the leafless trees.
In a blur you could guess the tower of a church
as ghostly arrow pointing the sky.

white dust
suddenly everything became shadowy,
a blurry white dust covered the roofs and the trees
and the landscape went brighter,
the shadows disappeared leaving a fog
that covered the city and the horizon.

lacrimosa
Lacrimosa
Lacrimosa dies illa
Qua resurget ex favilla
Judicandus homo reus.
Huic ergo parce, Deus
Pie Jesu Domine
Dona eis requiem,
Lacrimosa dies illa
Qua resurget ex favilla
Judicandus homo reus.
Huic ergo parce, Deus
Pie Jesu Domine
Dona eis requiem,
Amen.

golden light
light and leaves have almost disappeared
the naked twigs shiver under the north wind
the whole landscape becomes a scream
the light is leaving us
but not before saying farewell in golden clothes…
