Last Saturday I took a ride to the Night of the Museums. I must say, I felt nostalgia for the White Nights veltroniane, which were bright and colorful, while this is a night of Alemanno in very black and white rhetoric. Then, when the buildings of the Piazza del Campidoglio, were shown rolling faces of Roman emperors, the rhetoric on ancient Rome has reached the limit for me ..
However, the fact that we went with maws, coming from far away and yet with those ancient stories is much more comfortable to me, gave meaning to the whole evening. Given the intractable file in other museums more attractive, in Piazza Venezia we toured the museum on the "Christmas of Rome". Thus, on the boards, I reread the story of Aeneas: greek noble son of Venus, participate in the Trojan War (Asia Minor, now Turkey), as a niece, for part of his father, King Priam's ancient city. Here he distinguished himself as a valiant warrior but had to flee and the endless wanderings described in the Aeneid was completed only with the landing in Latium, where he married la principessa Lavinia e dalla lora discendenza fu creata Roma. Chi se non un rifugiato è questo eroe celebrato nel museo dell'altare della patria?
Ma la vicenda più divertente è venuta con la storia di Romolo e Remo. Al vedere la lupa ho cercato di raccontare la leggenda dei due gemelli a Maws, prima di scoprire che non me la ricordavo affatto mentre invece lui ce l'aveva fresca della scuola d'italiano che frequenta. Così ha cominciato a raccontarmi, in modo appassionato, la storia di Rea Silvia, discendente di Enea e obbligata a divenire vestale, quindi casta, che però il dio marte possiede e rendendola madre di due gemelli destinati a fondare Roma: "Poichè erano due gemelli, a decidere il luogo dove costruire Roma and its first king, the gods had to decide: Romulus won the test of the birds. "maws I then explained why Romulus, after he killed the brother:" He wanted to avoid, as .. a coup. "
Yeah, I thought. And I remembered that in the maws of the country, Togo, not even a month ago, the dictator has been almost removed from power by his own brother. Their family has been in power for over 40 years and has already completed a lot of crimes against life and freedom.
maws, with his experience, gave substance to the story of the origins of Rome, who always think, just a fairy tale.
