Ma the work has also teased the irony typical of the Florentines, so much so that a yellow post-it immediately appeared signed by the San Lorenzo district which hopes that flatulence will not come out from behind the colossus and affectionately advises the author to bring the statue to Pisa to straighten the Tower. This did not bother Giannelli who, on the contrary, appreciated the irony, congratulating one of the authors, Alessandro of the Trattoria Sergio Gozzi, with whom he shook hands yesterday on the occasion of the presentation of the work. «This statue has lost the irreverent irony that distinguishes us – Alessandro said -. We wrote without any malice or will to offend anyone ». It seems that Mr Arbitrium agrees everyone, even the Prior of San Lorenzo Monsignor Marco Domenico Viola who, after a first moment of hesitation in front of the idea of placing the statue on the church, said he was inspired by the words of a small book by Lisa Parola entitled “Down the monuments?”. “After reading some sentences in the book including:” When the story changes direction the statues return to have their own voice “, I thought that Giannelli’s colossus could interact well with an unfinished facade that in itself does not invite you to stoppushing people to many reflections, and to take home some beautiful thoughts. From my point of view, Mr Arbitrium pushes the church towards the future “.
