‘Il Disinganno aka The Release from Deception' (1754) by Francesco Queirolo.

For centuries, sculptors around the world have adopted marble as their medium of choice. In order to both illustrate marble's carving capabilities and showcase their own sculpting skills, these artists often select subjects that require a certain level of expertise. These challenging motifs include anatomical details, dynamic drapery, and, in the case of Il Disinganno, delicate netting. Every piece of this incredible sculpture is carved out of marble, including the carefully crafted knots in the draping net wrapped around the large figure of a fisherman.

Il Disinganno, also known as The Release from Deception, was crafted by Genoese artist Francesco Queirolo in the 18th century. Widely regarded as his pièce de résistance, this sculpture has solidified Queirolo's legacy as one of Italy's leading 18th-century artists.

The Release from Deception:

The Release from Deception depicts a scene that is both biblical and allegorical. It features two subjects: an angel and a fisherman. The angel stands on a globe as he untangles the man from a net and floats above exquisite drapery.

BIBLICAL MEANING:

According to the Museo Capella Sansevero (“Sansevero Chapel Museum”) the net symbolizes sin. As the angel sets the man free, he rids him of his wrongdoings and introduces him to the Bible, which rests at his feet. In order to emphasize the idea of liberation, Queirolo adorned the open pages of the book with a Latin passage that reads: “I will break thy chain, the chain of the darkness and long night of which thou art a slave so that thou might not be condemned with this world.”

SECULAR SYMBOLISM:

In addition to religious undertones, the sculpture incorporates secular symbols. For example, the flame on the angel's head represents human intellect, while the globe signifies worldly passions. These elements coincide with Raimondo’s dedication to his father, which explores the idea of “human fragility, which cannot know great virtues without vice.”

According to the museum, the sculpture also appears to denote aspects of freemasonry—a fraternal organization. The Bible, for example, serves a dual purpose, as an open book is one of the three “great lights” of Masonry. Similarly, the concept of light and dark—explored by the aforementioned biblical passage—”appears to be a clear reference to Masonic initiation, where those being initiated would enter wearing a ritual blindfold to open their eyes to the new light of the Truth.”

The Marble Net:

While its symbolism is compelling, it is The Release from Deception‘s sculptural details—namely, its exquisitely carved net—that has captivated viewers for centuries. Though, at first glance, this structure appears to be composed of intertwined rope, a closer look reveals that the open-mesh material is made entirely from a single block of marble.

It reportedly took Queirolo seven years to fabricate this marble net, which he crafted without a workshop, apprentice, or other form of external assistance. The Sansevero Chapel Museum notes that this is because even the most specialized sculptors “refused to touch the delicate net in case it broke into pieces in their hands.”

The Sansevero Chapel:

Queirolo completed The Release from Deception in 1754. It was commissioned by Raimondo di Sangro, an Italian nobleman, and was intended to adorn the recently reconstructed Sansevero Chapel in Naples.

Built by John Francesco di Sangro in the late 16th century, the chapel became a family burial site in 1613. To memorialize those laid to rest on site, living family members would commission contemporary sculptors to design tributes to the dead. The Release from Deception was created to honor Raimondo's father: Antonio di Sangro, the Duke of Torremaggiore.

Other Masterpieces in the Sansevero Chapel:

Believe it or not, The Release from Deception is not the only highlight of the Sansevero Chapel. Within its walls are 30 other works of art, including two prominent pieces: The Veiled Christ (1753) by Giuseppe Sanmartino and The Veiled Truth (1750) by Antonio Corradini.

[PJO TV AND BOOK COMPARISON/SPOILERS]

I'm really loving the show, most of the new scenes and the changed ones. But I also have a particolar point that I don't like:

The PJO Show is trying too hard to be a "serious" show.

The main plot of Percy Jackson is that the gods follow wherever power goes and they are now in the USA. All gods and titans and giants and monster are influenced by the place where they are living. Poseidon looks like a fisherman, Chiron wears tacky shirts, Caronte loves italian suits and wants a raise, so they can bribe him.

Ares fighting on Twitter was one of the coolest addiction, as he is actually immerging himself in the modern world.

And in the books, the more we read the more things get weird.

Percy Jackson never was about how strong are the gods, demigods or any enemy. They always fight with brains, outsmarting a ridicolous encounter.

The giant Oto literally doesn't kill them because he dances while fighting, wearing a ballerina dress.

They convince a goddess to kill a giant promising merchandising and peluches in her honor.

Annabeth defeats Arachne with a child toy.

And that's what makes most of us love the PJO series, the laugh we get throughout the whole books that makes us despair even more when we get to the emotional scenes.

I think that the actors are extraordinary, they are very good at portraying their respective characters, but the production seems to have fear that the show might be too "dumb", too childish maybe?

Give us Caronte ranting about Hades, give us Chiron wearing Party Pony shirts, give us everything absurd PJO has to offer and then punch us in the stomach with the most heart wrenching betrayals, deaths, scenes that the books have to offer.

[discobiscotto]

“Signor Marcovaldo is my father, call me Alberto, Alby…or Maestro 😏”

If we’re talking predictability in design, adult Alberto was NOT easy. I had literally nothing to work from. No (living?) family to compare to, no hints at what kindof quirks he may develop. I had nothing!

All I had was that (assumed) deep-seated desire to be accepted, useful/helpful, and not left behind…..that, and yanno, that Charisma In Excess (as a KID no less, dude calm that shxt down or you’re grounded lol)

Alot of pawing around in the dark and just going with what felt right to me.

I took some cues here and there. Some pretty forward and commonly accepted (“You, the big strong one.” etc), others subtle and unassuming but I ran like the wind with it?

Anyway, here we go. What’s the deal with this walking bowl of spaghetti anyhow?

This will be a two parter. His seamonster form requires a separate post.

Alberto as I said is a bit of a wild card. He doesn’t have as much of an obvious blueprint compared to Luca or Giulia.

His physical appearance for his human form was based solely on environmental influence.

Physically I imagined him to be a bit rough around the edges. Kindof gaunt but not so much that he looks sick or weak. He’s pretty much just one big muscle. Not an ounce of fat on him. Nothing but sinew. Very toned and muscular but certainly not huge. He’s just solid and FIT.

He’s a guy from the docks. He’s a fisherman. He’s salty and peppered in scars. Heavy calloused hands. He picked up smoking at a young age. He spends endless hours in the sun, thus he’s still very freckly as an adult. His impulsive ass got a tooth busted out in a fist-fight. Five o clock shadow and untidy sandy facial hair. I imagined his hair growing more “out and up” than down. Tight coils suggest he’d likely have a ‘fro or pomp, so I combined the two, keeping that old Alberto “top heavy” hairdo lol.

Profoundly Italian, so he’s pretty furry everywhere. Being a hard worker for years, excessive sun exposure, substance use, he looks alittle “older” than he actually is. (Pushing 34 ish).

I made him very tall, 6’4” ish. I admit, I love a good “Tall Man x Small Man” dynamic, so that’s definitely a shameless “luberto-centric” choice lol But I also considered a funny “goldfish” concept where just like a goldfish only gets bigger when his bowl is bigger…perhaps nature was trying to make him “compete” and measure up or even end up bigger than Massimo. 😆

If there’s one thing I learned from “Ciao Alberto” it’s that Alberto has a deep desire to be useful and accepted. He tries through the entire film to impress Massimo and in turn hope Massimo accepts him and sees Alberto can be just as good at his knife-wielding barrel heaving badassery as he is.

Alberto ultimately ending up as a fisherman by trade was an easy choice. Not only do I write what I know (being a Mainer in the coast with a deep affinity with fishermen and shipbuilders) but it is the ultimate way to show his love for Massimo. To help carry on the legacy.

Alberto has mastered some unlikely skills as well. Not as unlikely as you’d expect though considering his desire to impress Massimo.

So consider this:

-Alright, Massimo is great at cooking. Alberto sucks EPICALLY at first but over time, his motivation to measure up to his hero and dad-figure makes him an amazing cook? Check.

-Massimo likes to sing. Alberto picks it up and finds he’s an Unreasonably Excellent Singer and prodigious musician who plays by ear? DOUBLE CHECK.

(Note: The lore and reasons behind this and Alberto’s mandolin will be a blogpost on its own eventually)

-Alberto being a competent and prolific/productive fisherman resulting in the family biz growing and delivering outside of Portorosso? Definitely a proud moment for Massimo.

So to me it all checks out, and drives home Alberto’s strong gumption and the next generation being better than the generation before. As a parent, I subscribe to this goal. I want my boys to be the “Big Strong Ones.”

There’s also the bit that Alberto is a bit of a lush and a party animal. Charismatic, has a bit of a Casanova complex. Charm pouring out of his ears. Why? Well, dang, I really don’t know. I guess bringing it back to that “Charisma In Excess” statement at the beginning of this, it just felt right somehow. I had it so that he really wasn’t all that conventionally attractive but had a level of animal magnetism that’s hard to resist.

There’s lore behind that too…but will be reserved for his “Fish Form” post.

I dunno, it’s probably cus he’s Italian. It could be that simple. 🤷🏻‍♀️

a) Yes I have heard of the Lobster Fisherman and his Ribeye excesses, and I recognize in him my own madness

b) I did not pay anywhere CLOSE to $200 for mine, it was like, $60.

c) It has a safety guard and I also have a protective chain-mesh glove designed for this purpose.

Raphaël (Raffaello Sanzio) (Italian, 1483-1520) The Miraculous Draught of Fishes for the Sistine Chapel, ca.1515-16 This Cartoon depicts one of the founding moments of Christianity – when the Jewish fisherman Simon, later renamed Peter, is called to be an apostle (or disciple) of Jesus Christ (Luke 5:1-11). Simon, wearing a blue tunic, is kneeling before Christ. He has been fishing unsuccessfully on the Lake of Gennesaret in the Sea of Galilee. Jesus tells him to cast his nets into deep water, which produces such a large catch that the boat overflows with fish. Simon exclaims that he is unworthy of such a miracle. Jesus raises his hand in blessing and replies, "Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men", announcing the role that Simon would now have in helping to spread the Christian faith.

Knife - 9 Days of Solomon

Day 3

I was stumped on this prompt for a while, so I decided to play to my strengths and pick up my knife...CHEFS KNIFE THAT IS.

Yes, from Solomon's cookbook to your table, I have for you a recipe for Solomon's Mystery Stew!

aka a modified Cioppino, or Italian-American Fisherman's stew!

Remember to channel your inner Solomon: recipes are guidelines not holy writ (unless you're baking). Always error to your own tastes and judgement. If you don't like an ingredient feel free to leave it out. If you love a certain vegetable, see how it tastes when added! I made a vegetarian version of this last night because I was too lazy to go to the store and buy seafood - it was still delicious!

Solomon's Mystery Stew

1-2 servings

Ingredients

Olive Oil

Kosher Salt

Fish Sauce (optional)

½ Sweet or Yellow Onion, diced

1 medium Fennel bulb, sliced. Reserve fronds for garnish if desired.

1-1.5 tb Tomato Paste

2 cloves Garlic, minced

¼-1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes (more or less to taste)

½ c White Wine – Pinot Grigio is what I use because I can buy small half bottles of it. Any light white is fine, but avoid Chardonnay which can be oaked. You can omit the wine if you desire but it really does add a nice layer of flavor. If you leave it out consider adding a squeeze of lemon or a splash of rice wine vinegar.

1 can Petite Diced Tomatoes

2 c Vegetable Stock - You can substitute chicken stock if it's what you have on hand, but not beef stock. Fish stock is awesome if you have access to it.

Seafood: Calamari, Shrimp, Mussels (cleaned). I can buy a small bag of frozen "seafood medley" at my grocery store that contains tiny octopus, calamari, baby shrimp and clams that I usually use. I drop the frozen bits right into the soup as it cooks. If you want to buy fresh that's great too but quality won't suffer if you opt for frozen.

Fish, cut into bite sized pieces and deskinned: Salmon, Cod, Halibut, etc – your choice! I find one filet is usually plenty for me. If you are serving 2 people do 2 filets.

Options for toppings:

Fresh Parsley, chopped

Fresh Cilantro, sprigs

Fresh lemon or lime slices

Tabasco Sauce

Kewpie Mayo

And of course you're going to want a nice crusty bread or your favorite crackers for serving.

Heat a small amount of olive oil in a pot. Heat should be medium to low. You want to sweat the veggies without browning them.

Add onions and sweat until translucent. 5ish min. Add fennel and garlic, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Season with a light sprinkle of salt. Increase heat to medium if using a low heat. Add tomato paste and red pepper flakes and cook while stirring for 2 minutes. Tomato paste should be lightly sizzling while cooking.

Increase heat to medium-high. Add wine slowly. Let simmer until reduced by half. Stir in diced tomatoes, Vegetable stock. Simmer covered for 15-20 minutes.

Add sea food. Simmer covered until seafood is done – Shellfish should be opened, Calamari should be opaque, Shrimp and fish firm. Taste broth and season broth with salt and more red pepper flakes if you desire. At this point I add a dash of fish sauce (my secret ingredient) but that's up to you.

Serve with lemon, parsley, and fennel fronds. I always drizzle a little Kewpie mayo on top as well. It melts into the broth and adds the most amazing sweet/sour flavor.

I hope you enjoy making this recipe! It's easier than it seems and once you have it down, its very easy to size it up to feed a larger group of people. If you have any questions feel free to DM me or ask in reblogs!

Happy 9 Days of Solomon!

Ciociare- Rome, Italy 19th century

ENG:

"Ciociare" was a term used to define women who lived in the "Ciociaria", a wide area of rural lands that extended from Roma up to Napoli. This was a style of dress worn by lower class women in rural areas; these women were often wife's of farmers or fisherman and married very young. Every village had their own little variation in dress, like the color of the apron or the shape of the corset. Some women lived in Rome to search fortune and pose for Europeans artists. Some even ended up marring those artists!

The name Ciociara comes from the shoes that both men and women wore; le Ciocie

These shoes were simple and made of pieces of leather that wrapped around the foot and leg 13 times and stopped at the knee.
