Melancholy is that feeling, mixed of nostalgia and pain, we experience when thinking of the time passing. This is what I feel when looking at the remains of the ancient Roman and Greek world: a time when Gods were indifferent to mortals, the Christian God had still to come, and only the Man was in all his misery and grandeur.

Wounded to Death
According to the myth, the daughters of Niobe, queen of Tebe, were killed by the Gods as punishment for hybris, or lack of modesty. The legend claims that Niobe was too proud of having more sons and daughters than the mother of Apollo and Artemis. However, I personally believe that the myth can be interpreted in a different, more contemporary way. Throughout history, boys and girls have been fragile and exposed to violence and menace, used as objects without value. This is no less true today than in ancient times. In particular the violence against women has never ceased, as young women are particularly vulnerable to different forms of constriction, not only physical but also psychological, from a world dominated by men who demand a perfection that is unattainable.
