Being in Italy in these last years one can see all sort of artists and their works of art marching compact, each one finding the easy target for their satyr and competing among themselves for better and always original forms of expression. Not only the creative side but also the management side, that is organizer of prizes, festivals, events, pizza carnivals and the like.

The target of this is called The Cavalier in a 18th century tradition (Così fan tutte of Mozart, Munchausen, Barry Lindon, ...). Luckily, we are absolutely incapable of taking ourselves seriously, so everything always ends with glasses of wine and merry go arounds.

The first not to take this war of the 15 years seriously is the target itself. As always we cannot be taken as an example of anything except of ourselves.

What I mean is that artists do what pleases them, both the geniuses with the great acclaimed masters, and also the polemic surfers and provokers. To distinguish between the two categories objectively is impossible. Only time will tell.

Certainly a king that hits the buffoon is not a nice sight. And the courtesans that applause the king are pathetic.

I liked very much the initial arguments of Ea. They stand, in any situation. Following them ensures respect. Brings reason, progress.
