continuing my Venice series
********************************
This statue is dedicated to Italian linguist, writer, and patriot Niccolò Tommaseo. It was built in 1882 and was carved from a block of Carrara marble by Francesco Barzaghi.
In this statue, Tommaseo looks serious, with his arms folded as he frowns. His hands clutch rolls of paper, and he wears a sharp outfit reflective of the fashions of his time. Some books are piled behind him, which were actually placed there to give the statue some extra support.
It’s these books that make light of the statue’s otherwise serious appearance. Venetians noted that the placement of the books, just behind Tommaseo’s legs and partially covered by his long coat, made for an involuntary comic outcome.
As such, they dubbed the statue Caga libri,” which translates to “Bookshitter.” The tongue-in-cheek name is still widely used today.
