BAROQUE NOT DEAD

Horror Vacui

" One day,while I was visiting the exhibition " Roma Barocca" in the castel Sant' Angelo, I was stroked by a formula complementing an engraving: " Lampi, Voci, Tuoni", "Lightnings, Voices, Thunders ". It might have been the title of some etruscology's treatise, otherwise a futurist proclamation ( suitable with the " Funerals of the anarchist Galli, I would say! ); instead of that I saw a brilliant synthesis of the baroque pyrotechnics, as a sequence of rythms thrown in the space."
