Ryeberg's video: Ryeberg Home Movie: Piazza C L N Turin Italy

Most of Turin is located on the western bank of the Po River. The beefy hunk reclining here is an anthropomorphic allegory of the Po River. Not far away, he has a female counterpart, similarly reclining, and representing the Dora Riparia River. When the square was designed, in 1935, it included statues of Benito Mussolini and Vittorio Emanuele III of Savoy, but when the fascist years had played themselves out, so did that idea. Today the square is called Piazza C.L.N. (acronym of Comitato di Liberazione Nazionale), which is appropriate since it was Gestapo headquarters during the German occupation (they stayed at the Hotel Nazionale). Most Italians recognize it as one of the settings in Dario Silver's film, Profondo Rosso. Visit http://www.ryeberg.com Ryeberg publishes good essays about YouTube videos. It's a video "show and tell" for writers and artists.
