![]() Pasquino is the heart of Rome, the spirit of the Roman people. Pasquino existed even before there as a talking statue. Nell'arguzia existed in salacious irony of Horace, Martial, of Juvenal, Ovid and Catullus, in satire, in the teasing, the Animus of the Roman people. Marforio was considered the "shoulder" of Pasquino, as in some of the satire, the two statues converse with each other: one asking questions about social issues, politics, etc.. And the other gave witty answers. Madama Lucrezia, called "the evil tongue" was often a spectator instead of hostility between the children of the neighborhood. The statue was the subject of a strange devotion. Madama needed to show respect, taking off his hat. Even foreigners were willy-nilly forced to pay homage to the trick of a coin tied with a thread. The victim ran after the coin is the author of the joke dealt a blow on the head that made him fly off the hat. Many were also tributes to the noble woman who was found one day on earth with a sign around his neck bearing the words "Just do not take it anymore." |
