Thunder echoed as the explosive sounds caromed on each other. Menacing nimbus clouds blackened the skies in part, illuminated by the blindingly white hot light of hopscotching lightning bolts. In the western horizons, over Minneapolis and western suburbs, evanescing filigreed columns of rain can be seen clearly against the grayer clouds behind. With an appalling rapidity, the rain arrived over Saint Paul, pouring in sheets, only to move as fast on to Eastern parts and Wisconsin. To the North, as seen in this photograph, the sun breached the erstwhile clouds blackness to claim a corner of the sky, painting it in scarlet hue.
There is beauty in this pugilato of nature’s forces in conflict. It was my intent to capture this moment of the ever changing tableaus we are regaled with by Mother Nature.
L’etimologia del Pancratium maritimum L. racchiude in sé la resistenza di questa pianta tanto che il nome del genere deriva dal greco pankrátion frutto dell’unione di “pan” (tutto) e“cratys” (potente, forte). È singolare notare che il pankrátion nell’antica Grecia era una disciplina sportiva in cui si fondevano il pugilato e la lotta in cui era concessa ogni figura volta ad atterrare l’avversario. È emblematico il richiamo tra una disciplina fondata sulla forza e la resistenza del fiore alle avversità ambientali. L’epiteto specifico “maritimus” (marittimo) deriva dal latino e restituisce l’habitat della specie.
The etymology of Pancratium maritimum L. embodies the resistance of this plant, so much so that the name of the genus derives from the Greek pankrátion, fruit of the union of "pan" (all) and "cratys" (powerful, strong). It is singular to note that pankrátion in ancient Greece was a sport in which boxing and wrestling merged in which every figure aimed at knocking down the opponent was allowed. The reference between a discipline based on the strength and resistance of the flower to environmental adversities is emblematic. The specific epithet "maritimus" (maritime) derives from the Latin and returns the habitat of the species.
October arrived and finally I can upload the rest of my first photography series, made in darkroom, no digital effects at all (the grainy surface is up to the 400ISO turned to 1600 or 3200), made in 2005. It's called "Letea en Pugilato"...I wouldn't know how to translate it, but Letea is the latin name for oblivion, and "pugilato" is a spanish word for conflict or fight.

I took a picture of this pair of Warhol serigraphies in Venice at the last Biennale (2007). I worked out them in PS to correct perspective distortion. Too bad I wasn't able to correct the bad lighting reflection.
To see the original hanging one next to another is what I call an "aestetic experience".
Troppo forte Andy!

Ai tempi di Roma antica in quest'area sorgeva lo Stadio di Domiziano (Circus Agonalis), il primo esempio di stadio in muratura dell'antichità greco-romana, riservato a competizioni atletiche (corsa, lotta, pugilato). La piazza attuale ricalca la forma del vecchio stadio. e la chiesa che troneggia al centro della foto, Sant'Agnese in Agone, ne richiama anche il nome (Agonalis).
At the time of ancient Rome in this area stood the Stadium of Domitian (Circus Agonalis), the first example of a masonry stadium of Greco-Roman antiquity, reserved for athletic competitions (running, wrestling, boxing). The current square follows the shape of the old stadium. And the church that dominates the center of the photo, Sant'Agnese in Agone, also recalls its name (Agonalis).
