Fragments of an unusual fresco painted more than 700 years ago were found in Rome at the church of Ara Coeli. ...la bell'arte che, se dal ciel seco. Ciascun la porta, vince la natura! The 27 year old Art Historian is attributing the work to Pietro Cavallini, who worked in Rome around the later part of the 1200s. Originally named Pietro de' Cerroni he was given the nickname Cavallino or 'little horse'. It has been written that he lived to be 100 and never covered his head, even in the worst days of winter. Most notable are his mosaics for the apse of Santa Maria in Trastevere and his frescos in Santa Cecilia. His work is dominated by rich harmonic colors, a roundness in depth and an attention to a more realistic style rather than a commitment to a Byzantine Schema. Art historians feel that Cavallini offered incentive and inspiration to artists like the great Florentine master Giotto.

Jello Biafra Didn't Fuck Much With The Past But He Sure Fucked Plenty With The Future
MORAL MAJORITY by the Dead Kennedys
You call yourself the Moral Majority
We call yourself the people in the real world
Trying to rub us out, but we're going to survive
God must be dead if you're alive
You say, 'God loves you. Come and buy the Good News'
Then you buy the president and swimming pools
If Jesus don't save 'til we're lining your pockets
God must be dead if you're alive
Circus-tent con-men and Southern belle bunnies
Milk your emotions then they steal your money
It's the new dark ages with the fascists toting bibles
Cheap nostalgia for the Salem Witch Trials
Stodgy ayatollahs in their dobble-knit ties
Burn lots of books so they can feed you their lies
Masturbating with a flag and a bible
God must be dead if you're alive
Blow it out your ass, Jerry Falwell
Blow it out your ass, Jesse Helms
Blow it out your ass, George W
What's wrong with a mind of my own?
You don't want abortions, you want battered children
You want to ban the pill as if that solves the problem
Now you wanna force us to pray in school
God must be dead if you're such a fool
You're planning for a war with or without Iran
Building a police state with the Klu Klux Klan
Pissed at your neighbor? Don't bother to nag
Pick up the phone and turn in a fag
Blow it out your ass, Trent Lott
Blow it out your ass, Phyllis Schlafly
Ram it up your cunt, Anita
Cos God must be dead
If you're alive
God must be dead
If you're alive

Oh I am purposely not writing. I am behind on another project, why? Because the fucking library system cannot locate a certain Jeffrey Ruda book on Filippo Lipi, a book that is supposed to be Reference use only. It is dedicated to discussing a piece known as 'the' Washington tondo.Tondo Tondo Tondo my ass.
