.:. art  / nude hero 
September 30, 2013 through June 30, 2014
daytime

Since 1859, a grand bronze statue stands in the courtyard of the Palazzo di Brera. A nude, handsome gentleman, holds in his hands both a spear and a dove bringing peace. The artwork is by the great Italian neo-classical sculptor, Antonio Canova, and the gentleman's name is Napoleon Bonaparte. Make war, and bring peace.
.:. These months our hero lies in a transparent case, developed by reputed designers like Mario Bellini and Italo Lupi. Napoleon is in fact under restoration, thanks to Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Those who want peace, are grateful.
