"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

Scusate se faccio il verso ai titoli dei post di questo signore, ma la notizia mi faceva troppo ridere.

Dal Corriere di oggi:

Trovato l’oro nelle valli bergamasche
– Gli esiti delle ricerche spiegati dalla Rivista mineralogica italiana
Il geologo Renato Marsetti ha recuperato scagliette nelle acque dell’alta Valle Seriana e piccole pepite incastonate nelle rocce
BERGAMO – Non ci sono le premesse perché nelle Prealpi Orobie si scatene la corsa all’oro, ma dopo secoli di voci incontrollate adesso la notizia è stata diffusa in modo ufficiale dal geologo Renato Marsetti di Ecogeo, centro di ricerche geologiche e tecnologie d’ambiente di Bergamo: nei monti bergamaschi ci sono tracce del metallo giallo. Marsetti lo ha anche scritto in un articolo per l’ultimo numero della Rivista mineralogica italiana, basato su trent’anni di studi e analisi nelle zone della Valle del Goglio.
Nel corso degli anni Marsetti ha trovato campioni di oro sia nelle rocce sia nel torrente Goglio, confermando scritti e notizie risalenti al Duecento. Il geologo ha trovato pepite e scagliette d’oro nelle acque dell’alta Valle Seriana e piccole pepite incastonate nelle rocce, generalmente unito al quarzo, e visibili anche a occhio nudo.

Che dire?

Beauty and Ugliness: an exhibition

A few pictures from the recently closed exhibition on Beauty and Ugliness as an aesthetic paradigma in which what’s ideal and what’s grotesque melt together as sides of the same coin. The exhibition featured works by Brueghel (lent from the other exhibition at Palazzo Reale),
