Walking for art

An examination very difficult, Modern Art history, and above all Italian art, from centuries 15th to 18th, and that year program was around Baroque art in Italy; Ludovica was a girl of Italian origin and she would always went in Italy, because she studied Art history, and Italy was a mandatory stopping place for art like for archeologist is also Greek, and Egyptologist is Egypt; but Ludy, this  was name that she loved, was very busy for studies and those imagines of baroque architecture and other painting she has alone seen for photos; but for this examination was necessary direct experience, professor would that students has looked this art, and directly, because he would red also notes of students, because he advised to everybody that was necessary to look art work directly; he was lasted in Italy 12 years and he has looked much works. When Ludy set in front of professor for examination, he asked soon: “What do you have seen? Borromini, Bernini, Peter form Cortona, Luca Giordano? Or nothing? I advise you not try to lie me because I have seen much your colleagues and I have experience, therefore if you have seen it very well otherwise you will go back for next examination”, Ludy was very astonish for this frankness, and in fact she didn’t open mouth, she stood up and went out, she open door of classroom and while she walking for a street she entered in an room that she known as a bar, but she kept his head lowered, and in front of bench she ordered a coffee, and she thought again around she could make but it is was a think very transient, because she raised her hand and looked a man with a shirt very large and white and black trousers, she looked around very astonish and she seen that much men were in that room that not was a usually bar but a room dark with table of wood in bad state, and men looked hers with suspect, and somebody has extracted a knife. All looked Ludy and she tried took out, but a man cried to hers: “Where do you go?”, and raised approached to hers, he was a elegant man, with a hat and a black dress and a mantle, boots and gloves that he kept on hands, embrace Ludy and he said: “If you have studied before art and my architecture you don’t would be here, now, but since you are here is better for you get out otherwise somebody could ask how much for a passional night”, Ludy more astonish than worried gone out with this man, and somebody cried: “Compliment Francis”, they gone out from inn, and they were in street with slush and horses and merchants and guards, therefore Ludy asked: “Where do we are?”, and man that was ahead to Ludy answered: “In Rome at years 1667 and I am Francesco Borromini, architect, and you a student who hasn’t study my architecture, therefore you must go with me, and you will must listen that will I say”, in fact they entered into church of San Charles to Four Fountains, and Francis indicated some particular and with much explications, therefore: “Look very well form of this space, it is a simple process of Renaissance; geometry of Renaissance that I have used but with other order, Renaissance used geometry so that all architecture was rational, but geometry can be also irrational”, and Ludy then commented: “Not absolutely, geometry is rational and stop!”, and Francis: “Geometry is rational certainly but the use can be irrational, look plane of this church”, and Francis opened a paper with a drawing and he indicated this drawing, and : “Look here much triangles that are united among them, it is very rational but this is irrational because are present curves and abs that make a strange form, cupola are two circles united, therefore rational, but if you look it you will don’t consider that this cupola are two circles and triangle, all is rational but all is irrational, so is for Sant’ Ivo other church”, and Francis was in Pia street, got out from church of Saint Charles and knocked to other door, and bother he and Ludy were in Sant’ Ivo, where Ludy looked all structure, and Francis explained same concept, and explained also that Sant’ Ivo was attorney for poor, and Francis has took the rationality of law and irrationality of mankind; therefore he has used two triangle, that are rational and diagonals, he has represented rationality and irrationality, all is possible and for move hesitate of mankind that is represented here by walls, that will find in rationality of law, therefore in geometry the rational but space is irrational. Ludy listened all with life interest and kept in hand all information, and she looked all structure and continued to ask. The church of Sant’ Ivo therefore closed and they were in for their visit, Ludy was worried but Francis open with a keys the door, and made gone out Ludy, and she was in room of University where professor, invited hers to set and she explained all architecture of Borromini for a hour and half; finally the proof very astonish stood up and shakes hands with hers and he given maximum of vote. When Ludy looked her university student’s record-book she smiled because sign was: Franciscus Borrominis dixit , this is Francis Borromini has talked it.
