Mount And Blade Heroes

La Certosa di Bologna

In recent days, hanging around on Facebook, I discovered that a young photographer from Bologna, Mauro "Squiz" Daviddi, made a series of photos right in the monumental cemetery in Bologna. Cemetery that I know him well: as a child my father brought us not only to greet my grandfather and my brothers, but also for us to admire the beautiful statues, and then I discovered by famous sculptors, that adorn many graves. And my mother always told me that during the war, as a child, she went there to play hide and seek with her cousins \u200b\u200bwho lived nearby, being one of the few green areas in the city safe.
La Certosa is relatively recent, founded in 1801 on pre-existing structures fourteenth century later suppressed by Napoleon, and it is not great, but it was a stop on the Grand Tour of the 800 young European noblemen.
Today I took advantage and after going to see Lucy, I started to walk through the cloisters, this time looking for the statues that Mauro has portrayed with such accuracy and so much heat, making them attractive despite the neglect of the time. And I stopped to watch images, to read first and last names and dates, think of those people, imagine what could be their stories, their sadness so similar to mine.
I prayed for them and the sadness was dissolved in a great sense of peace.
