Arnaldo da Brescia

Questa è la statua di Arnaldo da Brescia, nell'omonima P.zza Arnaldo. Era un riformatore religioso, da molti poi considerato un eroe anticlericale.Durante la mia infanzia l'ho sempre visto come una specie di guardiano della P.zza, che dava il benvenuto ai visitatori - avanti, un cartellone con la scritta BENVENUTI ci sta ! :)

This is the staute of Arnaldo da Brescia, in the square of the same name. He was a religious reformer, from then on considered by many as an anti-clerical hero. During my childhood I always looked at him as a sort of guardian of the square, who was about to welcome foreigners - come on, a sign with WELCOME written on it would be just perfect! :)

There is a summer flavor in the light of this photo and the monument is imposing.
I confess that I had to check the poor Arnaldo, due to my ignorance or vaning memory, and this is a another good thing about these posts: they spark interest.
