An Italian cook stabs to death a German archeologist. Picture it: Trieste, the second half of the eighteenth century. The killer bears the same name as one of the most illustrious Italian art historians and critics of the twentieth century, while the victim is the founder of modern art history. A disturbing short-circuit that among phantasms, references to art history, ancient statuary, and Winckelmann's "passion" for young bodies has become an obsession for the artist who by means of the bodies of contemporary athletes and boxers proposes once again the color of neoclassical flesh so beloved by Winckelmann.
