Che lo si immagini plasmato dagli dèi attraverso una mescolanza di acqua e terra o cresciuto lentamente nel ventre di una donna a partire dal sangue dei suoi genitori, il corpo è onnipresente nella riflessione delle culture antiche: dalla fisicità ideale degli dèi e degli eroi, che prende forma nelle splendide sculture dell’arte greca, alla fragile concretezza degli uomini e delle donne, oggetto di cura e di ricerca per medici e scienziati; dai miti e i riti della bellezza alle credenze sulla formazione dell’embrione e sul destino dell’individuo dopo la morte. Ne risulta un affresco a più colori e a più voci, che restituisce l’eco affascinante di un mondo remoto e insieme straordinariamente moderno, alle prese con la più universale e la più umana delle realtà. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… Whether one imagines it shaped by the gods through a mixture of water and earth or slowly grown in the womb of a woman starting from the blood of her parents, the body is omnipresent in the reflection of ancient cultures: from the ideal physicality of the gods and heroes, which takes shape in the splendid sculptures of Greek art, in the fragile concreteness of men and women, objects of care and research for doctors and scientists; from the myths and rites of beauty to the beliefs about the formation of the embryo and the fate of the individual after death. The result is a multi-colored and multi-voiced fresco, which returns the fascinating echo of a remote and at the same time extraordinarily modern world, grappling with the most universal and most human of realities.]
