Design Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni

Set of 4 folding "director's" chairs, bamboo frame, fabric seat and back.

Oil painting on canvas. Northern Italian school of the 17th-18th century. The large scene is full of figures in ancient oriental clothing, placed in a Nordic landscape, rich in vegetation and with mountain peaks in the distance. The left half is mainly occupied by Saint John the Baptist, standing and depicted according to traditional iconography: he is dressed in a poor tunic made of animal skins, but has a red cloak draped around him, symbol of martyrdom; with one hand he holds the cross-shaped stick, around which is rolled the scroll with the writing "Ecce Agnus Dei", symbol of his role as precursor and herald of Christ, and at his feet the lamb itself, sacrificial victim and therefore a symbol of Christ's sacrifice. With his other hand John points to someone on his right outside the frame of the scene, but who is obviously Christ: this gesture catalyzes the gazes of the entire crowd located on the right of the scene, a varied crowd representing genders, social classes and races different, indicating the universality of the Baptist's message. The work, previously restored and relined, has a widespread patina that needs to be cleaned. It is presented in an antique frame.

Il testo è la prima traduzione in lingua italiana, accompagnata dal testo latino e da puntuali commenti, dell'opera "Le Propositiones ad acuendos juvenes" (Problemi per sviluppare l'intelligenza dei giovani), la più antica raccolta esistente di problemi matematici in lingua latina voluta da Carlomagno. Si tratta di problemi, indovinelli, scherzi o paradossi di carattere giocoso. La maggior parte dei problemi appartiene alla cosidetta "matematica creativa", si tratta ovvero di quei giochi matematici che negli ultimi tempi hanno ricevuto rinnovata attenzione come strumento didattico per motivare gli studenti.

Il Pozzo di Giacobbe

Una donna, una scelta: quella di salvare centinaia di ebrei a rischio della propria vita. Una storia di umanità e di fede contro la banalità del male nell'Italia divisa in due dopo l'8 settembre 1943. La guerra, le difficoltà, le spie fasciste, i delatori avrebbero potuto farle paura. Non fu così. Anzi, con coraggio e con la forza della fede aiutò profughi, antifascisti e perseguitati politici perché andava fatto. Per questo aderì al gruppo clandestino Frama, collaborò con il finanziere Gavino Tolis e passò informazioni segrete oltre confine. Corrispondenza e ordini riservati destinati alle brigate partigiane operanti nel comasco. Per molti diventò l'angelo di Ponte Chiasso. Arrestata e deportata sopportò terribili sofferenze. Superò l'orrore del campo di concentramento e ritornò in Italia. Un racconto che fa riscoprire una figura poco conosciuta insignita con la Medaglia d'Oro al Merito Civile dal Presidente della Repubblica Sergio Mattarella.
