In S.Peter, in the dome, I found this great statue from Michelangelo. S.Veronica, in the act of setting the table. You can almost hear her saying:
“Everybody…supper is ready!”
The tablecloth seems to wrap Veronica’s body, who’s nakedness is disguised by her semi-transparent dress. Neverthless, the picture is far from erotic. In those ancient times, sex and food were not supposed to be associated.
S.Veronica is procuress of restaurants and cafés.

But the statue is great.. You are lucky bastards in Italy, can see Michelanjelo (how you write it in Latin??) almost daily.
No,
nowadays we associate sex with love.
With love, Giuseppe
