Forse ho spostato le lancette troppo indietro. Mi pare di essere nel 1922.

This, adorning the collection of Oxford's @PittRivers Museum, is a 'Mano cornuta' - a horned hand, worn as protection against the sinister Evil Eye. This one (in coral from Ajaccio, Corsica, pre-1931) represents many in cultures across the Mediterranean.
Where it gets strange but utterly true: the reason we see this in heavy metal was Ronnie James Dio from Black Sabbath had an Italian grandmother. (His off-stage second name: Padavona.)
So here's a shout out to the Italian grandmothers without whom we wouldn't have heavy metal.

Sharing in the shock and sorrow today at the news that we lost Glen Hansard.
Glen’s legacy reaches far beyond that of an Irish or Dublin musician who’s work became beloved globally; he was a uniquely central feature and vehicle of Irish story telling on both stage, screen and street for as long as many of us can remember.
Glen is so indelibly tied into the life and breath of Irish music, and particularly the city of Dublin, that it feels utterly surreal to imagine that he could be gone from us now.
His beautiful work was an inspirational component of my own and so many other’s upbringing and adult life, as was his consistent kindness, support and advocacy.
This was a man who gave a remarkable amount of himself to song itself, to his shows, to the city he loved and to a community of musicians who loved and admired him dearly.
I’ll be among countless artists and fans today reflecting on his impact on our own life and work. My thoughts in particular are with his family and close friends at this moment.

Sometimes I would wonder if Glen Hansard really existed….
Seriously, he was such an angelic presence… not otherworldly…in fact, very present this presence…
A smiling rascal if you needed him to be… this most musical and mischievous archangel of Ballymun… no airs, plenty of graces...
Of course, Glen was the shining star of the Christmas Eve busk… sometimes the only one reminding the rest of us that Christmas began with a refugee born in a manger, which is hardly a step from living on the street.
To be utterly yourself by being more interested in others - a clue for any of us trying out different personas. He really was who you thought he was. He could never walk by a person living rough without checking they were OK… and more than that, he worked very hard so that less people had to live on the streets in the first place.
When the crowds got bigger and for safety’s sake Glen had to agree to move the busk to a stage kindly provided outside The Gaiety Theatre, he would say 'we’ll give it our best but it’s not a busk if we’re not on the street!’ …because that’s who he was - a performer at eye level in any situation. The stage was a separation he wouldn’t recognize. Of all the grand and gigantic venues he and The Frames played, you sensed the street was his most favoured place to perform. And street people, his favourite audience.
Voice of the streets. A choir of angels in one man. The rest of us blessed to stand there beside our very own and very earthed Angel Gabriel… All of us welcome in his choir, whatever shape or form.
….and I’m telling myself this morning that if he never existed, then he can never cease to exist. For me, he will always be everywhere I see a coin spinning into an open guitar case.
May you rest in the peace you gave to so many.

Today a chapter in Irish music has come to a heartbreaking end. Glen Hansard has sadly passed away at the age of 56 following a road traffic collision in Dublin.
A proud Dubliner with a voice full of honesty, passion & soul 💚
Rest in peace, Glen. Thank you for the music 🕊️🕊️
A book of condolence for Oscar-winning songwriter Glen Hansard will open at the Mansion House in Dublin tomorrow
