The Cristoforo Columbus' little finger projecting from bronze medaillon is very polished, it always is a very fine talisman. Students are scrubbing it for to get through an university exam or for anything else they want. It's not guaranteed but why to lose an opportunity? Medaillon is shoving Columbus studing the globe but, the Americas' modern map is an historical false in his time.Le petit doigt de Cristoforo Colombo tres luisant et prominant du medaillon en bronze, est toujours un talisman à frotter pour passer les examens universitaires ou par autre nécessité. Il n'est pas garanti qu'il fonctionne mais parce que perdre une opportunité? Le medaillon en bronze représente Colombo etudiant le globe, mais la moderne carte des Amériques, est sure un faux historique.
Il dito mignolo di Cristoforo Colombo lucidissimo e sporgente dal medaglione in bronzo, è da sempre un talismano da strofinare per superare gli esami universitari o per qualunque altra necessità. Non è garantito che funzioni ma perchè perdere una opportunità? L'opera rappresenta Colombo nell'atto di studiare il globo con la moderna mappa delle Americhe, è chiaramente un falso storico.

Interesting to see Cristopher Columbus discovering America on his globe. How can this be? ;)
That's a precious tradition... Rubbing Columbus' little finger, for good luck. :-)

When was the medallion created?
Mille grazie :-)
Mon Dieu! Bellissima! Where do I start? I adore all of your photographs and I could gaze at them all day.
To think that I wasted my time in Rome and Napoli when I could have been here! Argh!
All of it makes my blog look like a third grade effort. I must lift my game.
Wow. Wow, WOW! :)
