Javier Milei:
“Se per vivere dell'arte hai bisogno di sussidi statali, non sei un artista, sei un impiegato pubblico.
E se inoltre sei uno strumento di propaganda politica, stai facendo politica, non stai facendo arte”.
In 1504, Michelangelo finished a sculpture that contained a fact medical science would not catch up with for another 124 years.
No doctor noticed it for centuries...
The sculpture is the David, in the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence. The fact, hidden in plain sight on his neck, was finally observed in 2019 by an American cardiologist named Daniel Gelfman, a clinical professor at the Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine.
Gelfman had gone to the museum like millions of visitors before him. But where most people see a perfect male body carved out of stone, he saw something only a heart specialist could see: the external jugular vein on the right side of David's neck is distended, raised visibly above the collarbone, exactly as it would appear on a real human being in a state of intense physical excitement.
In ordinary anatomy, this vein is not visible. It only stands out under specific conditions — adrenaline, fear, exertion, the cardiovascular surge that comes before great physical effort. In other words, exactly the state a young man would be in moments before facing a giant.
Gelfman published the finding in JAMA Cardiology, one of the most respected medical journals in the world. He called it the David Sign, and noted that it had been hiding in plain sight for more than 500 years.
What makes this detail extraordinary is when Michelangelo carved it...
The mechanics of the human circulatory system — the way blood actually returns to the heart through the venous network — were not formally described until 1628, when the English physician William Harvey published De Motu Cordis. Michelangelo finished David in 1504. He had sculpted, with anatomical precision, a circulatory phenomenon that medicine would not understand for over a century.
"Michelangelo, like some of his artistic contemporaries, had anatomical training," Gelfman wrote. "I realized that he must have noticed temporary jugular venous distension in healthy individuals who are excited."
He had. And he carved it into the marble.
His contemporaries knew they were watching something more than a sculptor at work... They called him Il Divino, the divine one.
In a letter dated September 1537, the poet Pietro Aretino wrote: "The world has many kings, and only one Michelangelo."

Non c'è cammino troppo lungo per chi cammina lentamente, senza sforzarsi; non c'è meta troppo alta per chi vi si prepara con la pazienza. (Jean de La Bruyère).
Quando si diffuse la notizia della morte di Papa Giovanni Paolo II, il 2 aprile 2005, gli ultras del Lech Poznań chiesero agli arbitri di interrompere una partita per rispetto del pontefice.
I tifosi cantarono l'inno nazionale polacco e i giocatori pregavano piangendo in campo.
What a legend!✨
