Rome carefully restoring statue of Giordano Bruno new York times anger has raged Over the use of Bright colors in the restoration of Michelangelo s sistine Chapel frescoes but there is one roman Monument that everyone agrees should remain dark and gloomy. It is the 19th-Century Bronze statue in Piazza Campone Fiori of Giordano Bruno Rome s most famous victim of the Catholic inquisition a Symbol of ant clericalism near the Home of the papacy. The statue is being carefully restored. The work will go through several phases As different chemical treatments Are applied to the Bronze and the Stone base. In the meantime scaffolds of different shapes and sizes Are being put up and taken Down leaving the statue occasionally uncovered. The corroding statue which has suffered from air pollution depicts a hooded figure head Bent but with eyes pointing toward the Vatican. Ii is a Cross it. She she of Christmas a and i grim reaper and that is appropriate because the statue stands on the spot where Bruno was burned at the stake As a heretic on feb. 17,1600. He was Only one among Many who tasted papal Justice in the Square which Lay at the heart of Renaissance Rome and was regularly used for executions. Bruno might be Happy to know that his statue now oversees a daily tribute to Italy s most hedonistic resource the ingredients that make its food great. Every morning the Piazza whose name Means Field of Flowers hosts Rome s liveliest food Market. All around the Square Are Butcher shops bakeries and delicatessens and the Square becomes filled with stalls Selling everything from sole to celery. A half dozen Trattoria and restaurants offer local fare. In the evenings after the place has been cleaned up the Square is the site of debates songs and the sleeping bags of rebellious youths. It is an authentic roman Folk site by Day and a Freak beat pop Village by night. Most tourists never know that they have been nearby and missed it. Ii is a two minute walk from the Piazza Navona which everyone visits. As you face Boromini s St. Agnes in Agone Church walk to the left keep going across the Busy Corso Vittorio Emanuele for Mother two blocks and you will come to Bruno. Erected in 1889 after Rome was freed of papal Rule the statue by Telore Ferrari has no great artistic Merit but it is an important Symbol of resentment toward the Church a resentment that underlies the roman personality of the streets. Bruno is scheduled to reappear by he end of Winter fully repaired but restorers Promise he will remain As haunting a figure As Ever. In the meantime longtime residents speak of the slate. Is if it were a sick Friend. Said 80-year-old Emma Brenda that poor Guy suffered unjustly and now these kids especially foreigners Light up bonfires at his feet to keep warm at night. No wonder the statue is in such bad shape. Once there used to be an Iron Fence around the Monument to protect it but in Mussolini s time they Icik it Down because they needed the Metal for the ski club Calendar Frankfurt International ski club Terrace club dec. 3.
