Resident art historian Giancarlo is lecturing some of the boys on Daddy Steve's newest garden acquisition...
Giancarlo: Can anyone tell me the name of the famous Italian sculptor
who created this wonderful statue of David?
Chance Victor: Ooh! I know! It was Mike Malangelo.
Diego Luis: ¡Bien hecho, papi! Good job!
Kirwan Mahoney: Must have been a cold day in the studio.
Giancarlo: >Ahem<
The artist's name was Michelangelo, an Italian of high renown during the Renaissance.
David is a symbol of youthful strength and beauty, and of the civil liberties
as embodied in the constitution of Florence.
Kirwan: He is aware that the symbol is wearing only his birthday suit, isn't he?
Giancarlo: >Ahem!<
David was carved out of a single, massive block of marble.
When asked how he did it, Michelangelo is supposed to have said he simply
carved out where David wasn't.
Diego: Un muchacho muy macho.
Kirwan: Un muchacho muy nude-o.
Giancarlo: >AHEM!!<
Later...
Giancarlo: I am surprised you did not join us, amico.
You like the history and art.
Nicholas Sahara: My dear Giancarlo, I've seen it before.
Giancarlo: Seen it...? How?!? Papa Stefano just acquired it!
Nicholas: Oh, my parents have one. In the courtyard of our palace back home.
Giancarlo: His parents have one?
Mamma mia...I need una limonata...
