The once fashionable decor "under a tree", "under a stone", "under a marble" is no longer interesting. But to "disguise" real marble as foam, rubber, fabric, paper or wood, so much so that people have an irresistible desire to touch this or that work, in order to make sure with their own hands what they are made of - this is already a talent that you can't hide anywhere. And it would be a sin not to share these masterpieces with the audience. So, the Italian sculptor Fabio Viale He is known for creating unusual sculptures-illusions from the famous Carrara marble, from which Machelangelo himself once created, giving out precious material for the most common "grass-roots resource". In Fabio's hands, marble is capable of such tricks that he had never dreamed of since birth. For example, the marble boat that the master lowers into the water at every exhibition does not sink at all, as one would expect. She not only successfully keeps afloat, but is also capable of taking on board a crew of eight. And all thanks to the thin (1-3 cm) walls of the floating sculpture.
A couple of years ago, both the boat and other works of Fabio Vajale could be seen by residents of St. Petersburg who attended an exhibition of sculptures, and later they could watch the launch of the boat near the Peter and Paul Fortress. Fabio believes that marble is a classic material, monuments of famous people or other pretentious sculptures should be sculpted from it, but with his "illusions" he seeks to "rejuvenate" and "modernize" this material. Art should be closer to the people, especially young people, and what else to interest them, if not mysterious, amazing works, which "inside" are not at all the same as "outside"?
So the master makes marble balloons and "paper" airplanes, "rubber" tires and "fabric" flags. These and other works of the talented sculptor can be seen on his website.

Rogvolodovich, not Rurikovich: Why Prince Yaroslav the Wise did not love the Slavs and did not spare his brothers
In the official historiography, Yaroslav the Wise for a long time appeared to be an almost sinless ruler, the creator of legality in the Russian lands. In our time, he is already accused of sending several of his brothers to the next world in order to occupy the Kiev throne. But was it only the desire for power that drove Prince Yaroslav? If you look at the history of his family, then everything that happens is more like revenge … to his father. Bloody revenge for bloody atrocity
What the ancestors of Homo sapiens looked like: Who could not pass natural selection, and with whom everything is not so simple
The transformation of Australopithecus into a modern type of man did not come true, of course, overnight - the process took hundreds of thousands and even millions of years. Everything happened, as is now known, extremely slowly, and at the first stages of anthropogenesis much longer than at the subsequent ones. Here is what is interesting: in addition to the links in the chain of "transformations" into a Homo sapiens, there were other "relatives" of him - who did not pass the selection, but did not sink into oblivion either. These are kind of "uncles" of modern people, passing
She did not promote the Germans, did not ruin Russia, did not leave the course of Peter: what is Anna Ioannovna accused of in vain?
Anna Ioannovna, niece of Peter the Great, went down in history with a terrible image. For what they just did not reproach the second ruling queen of Russia: for tyranny and ignorance, craving for luxury, indifference to state affairs and for the fact that the dominance of the Germans was in power. Anna Ioannovna had a lot of bad character, but the myth about her as an unsuccessful ruler who gave Russia to be torn apart by foreigners is very far from the real historical picture
