Verified profile

Certainly there are not a few ceramics made by Ferruccio Mengaroni, but the Medusa is certainly the most famous and fascinating one. The large majolica, whose diameter abundantly exceeds two meters, now finds its place along the staircase that leads to the Civic Museums of Pesaro. He stands there, in profile, as if for an ambush, as if on purpose he wanted to send his heart to bump into the goiter. And in short, it will be for the skill used by Ferruccio Mengaroni who seems to make the Medusa alive, for the subject represented in itself, or perhaps for the incredible story of the work: the fact is that a glance is enough to feel a series of shivers on the back. , to get the feeling that a small insect has mistaken our backbone for its playground and is having a lot of fun walking it, first back and forth. On repeat.
