Description
Il Cavaliere Inesistente
The Tyrolese Archduke Ferdinand of Hapsburg (1520-1595) gathered together an omnivorous collection of art and wonders that provoked the awed admiration of his contemporaries at his castle in Ambras near Innsbruck. His main interest was the armoury, where he collected the armour worn in battle by the most famous knights of the era. These empty shells of warriors, collected by a lover of military iron tailoring, parade here with a commentary by Christian Beaufort-Spontin, of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, an expert in weapons history. This theatre of Vanitas Belli, a phantasmal tournament of empty armour engraved by the Diors of ironware, is matched by Italo Calvino’s narrative masterpiece, that of the Nonexistent Knight, which is perhaps the only story in the world where clothes not only do not make the man, but are the man.

Il cavaliere inesistente
L’arciduca del Tirolo Ferdinando d’Asburgo (1520-1595) raccolse nel suo castello di Ambras presso Innsbruck un’onnivora collezione d’arte e di meraviglie che suscitò la stupita ammirazione dei contemporanei. Sua creatura diretta fu l’armeria, in cui raccolse le armature indossate in torneo o in battaglia dai più famosi cavalieri dell’epoca. Quelle vuote larve di guerrieri radunate da un amante della ferrigna sartoria militare sfilano qui in parata commentate da Christian Beaufort-Spontin, del Kunsthistorisches Museum di Vienna, studioso di storia delle armi. A questo teatrino della Vanitas Belli, a questo fantasmeale torneo di corazze smesse cesellate dai Dior della ferramenta, si attaglia con ironica perfezione uno dei capolavori narrativi di Italo Calvino, quel Cavaliere inesistente che è forse l’unico racconto al mondo in cui l’abito non solo fa il monaco, ma è il monaco.
