Mussolini Bust (1933), Renato Bertelli

In 1933, the Italian Futurist artist Renato Bertelli (1900-1974) produced a series of portrait heads of Benito Mussolini in what is sometimes known as the "aereoceramica style." It is a 360-degree portrait, a "continuous profile," somewhat related in concept to stop motion photography.

When the air is still, soaked in the swamp's humidity, the only sound is that of the meganeurids' wings beating against it. It is like the gentle noise of paper rattling in the wind, or breaths shivering against the throat.

But to the swamp's the smaller insects, the beat of those wings is like the roar of thunder, a buzzsaw that warns them to retreat under leaves, under logs, under water. Bugs freeze, flies flee, and silverfish slither into shadows when the meganeurids pound the skies with those French chapel wings. Those who ignore the warning are snatched and devoured before they know they are dead.

They had work to do...money to collect for those who agreed to their terms for protection. It was a shakedown, and they knew it, but if it was something they would do to keep the lowlife thugs away then they'd have no issue. Gianni pulled up alongside the Scarlatta's home, getting himself out of the car and knocking on their door.

"Come on out, kid we got money to collect."

And on the subject of the America’s Cup, Caterina Banti also lashes out at Bertelli, the owner of Luna Rossa, who recently said he did not want mixed teams in match racing for the trophy. Banti told Repubblica, “He is a man from another time, when women on board put fear, brought bad luck, disturbance and misfortune. But these are just stereotypes. Is the man more direct and practical? He often is. The woman may be less concrete, but she has great mental strength and stamina. If you do not give us the opportunity to try, how can you say we are unfit. Test our merits and then discard us. But afterwards, not before. How can we become good if we are not given a chance?” According to Banti, the media are also enslaved to these old stereotypes. “At the Tokyo Games,” she explains, “they used to ask me, ‘How come you and Ruggero are not engaged?’ Here, the sexual relationship, only that seemed to be of interest. Not the winning partnership despite the differences in characters, not the interchangeable roles, not the life paths, not the personalities.”
