The Metaphisical Town

  Tresigallo, near Ferrara, in Emilia Romagna region, is known as "La Città Metafisica" (The Metaphysical City) due to its unique architecture, which was designed in the 1930s under the fascist regime to create an ideal rationalist city. I fell totally in love with this place!  The town features a grid-like layout with clean lines, geometric shapes, and pastel-colored buildings, giving it an orderly and somewhat surreal atmosphere that has been likened to a "metaphysical" painting. This transformation was financed by Edmondo Rossoni, a native of the town and then Minister of Agriculture, to counter rural depopulation and create a modern urban center.  The town is a prime example of Italian Rationalist architecture, characterized by its simplicity, emphasis on geometric forms, and functionality. It was planned with a symmetrical and orderly layout, with one axis for spirituality (church, youth center) and another for daily life (civic center) . The project began in ...

Getting rid of bonds

 


Step after step, getting rid of bonds, malicious bonds, which hold you captive like in a mold, a matrix, you learned to consider your skin…

It takes time.

The first step is to realise you are in a mold. When you fully realise it, you just want to liberate yourself, and yet you can’t. Every time you try to cut the ties that keep you in the mold, you simply can’t. Fear and strong guilt feelings are the major hindrance. Therefore you step back, suddenly ashamed of yourself for that kind of pride that pushes you out of the common rules, daring too much. Now you see how wild you were. Submissive and obedient you feel docile and pious again, and the blessings pour onto you. You are back, well protected inside the mold.

And yet, after some time here it is again: that deep push inside. Again you feel tremendously lucid in your thoughts and feelings. You clearly see the inner prison which binds you like in a spell. You realise that indeed: it is a spell! And again you feel that terrible urge inside to severing ties. But you can’t. There is not enough strength inside.

Once again, the rebellious wave calms down and once more you humbly go back in the ranks.

Eventually, one day, totally out of the blue, without any sign that could reveal you were getting ready, something of minor importance happens, and you simply cut off everything which was still binding you to situations and people, holding you hostage in their emotional and pseudo moral blackmail! And you are out of the mold, out of the matrix. Surprised that everything happened without any effort, but very smoothly, simply and naturally!
