Personal/Unpersonal
“Personal/Unpersonal” by Simone D'Auria
Gallery Hotel Art
Vicolo dell’Oro
Florence, April 2015
“Auria’s work, entitled Personal / Unpersonal, takes inspiration from the great men who built the city of Florence and who were represented by animal emblems. For example: the turtle is the symbol of Cosimo I, the perfect image to define prudence and wisdom together, or the rhino for Alessandro de Medici, to symbolize his strength and will.” (Personal/Unpersonal: 18 odd creatures invade Florence, Around Tuscany)

Don't think I would choose to walk down that street. :-)
