The heart still has an important symbolic value as it had in the past. Primitive men already knew that in their body there was something magical that beat following a different rhythm depending on their emotional state. Anthropology, philosophy, religion, history and history of medicine have studied this interesting issue. There are several examples demonstrating the symbolic value of the heart. In particular, here we will examine the history linked to the heart of Kosciuszko, as well as the heart of Chopin and the body of Lenin.
