After the trip to Rome… Palazzo Madama, the “home” Senate

Of Palazzo Madama we "keep" the virtue che sono rappresentate nei quadri sulle preti di Sala Maccari, which tell the history of the Roman Senate:
• the DEFENSE OF THE COUNTRY: Appius Claudius the Censor while being conducted in the Senate to urge the Romans not to accept the humiliating peace terms imposed by Cinea, ambassador of Pyrrhus;
• the COURAGE: Marcus Papirius, He remained motionless on his seat before the invasion of the Gauls;
• l’HONESTY: Curio Dentato resist bribery attempt of the Samnites, who would pay him to convince the Senate to make peace;
• l’ELOQUENCE: the depiction of Cicero as he pronounces his indictment against Catiline, listening, isolated, from his seat;
KEEP THE WORD DATE: the departure from Rome of Regulus, captured by the Carthaginians in the Battle of Tunis and sent home to the Parliamentary, on the promise to consider himself a prisoner. Legend has it that, When the consul returned to Carthage to keep his promise to the enemy, he paid with his life for his loyalty and his love for Rome.
The Carthaginians, having learned what advice Regulus had given the Senate, the precipitated closed a hill in a barrel bristling with nails.

VOTING CCRR

7 March.. special day!!!!!

Even small vote, yes, just so!

Everything is ready: seats, urn, tellers, president and vice-president of the polling.

It breathes in the air so much euphoria but also agitation and fear.

The majority of voters are excited, someone is upset because he can not vote but all candidates must choose two.

Some candidates are doubly worried: not to be elected but at the same time to have the responsibility to become counselors.

When we finally, after a few days, are made known the names of councilors, c 'is a sigh of relief, someone is sorry for not being chosen, some other rejoices in disbelief. All, however, are very pleased to confirm that the elected representatives and give them support.

In the role of Electric, I have a feeling large responsabile. Our program is “WORDS IN 3D“, because those words are written out of the sheet and become reality, otherwise, if there are only written, not worth anything! Da oggi per noi è più chiaro che ogni bambino è cittadino 🙂

Here: I gave my vote: I felt GREAT because I know I did something important.
