...fabulously eloquent Giambologna. There was Bartolommeo Ammannati, who made the Fountain of Neptune in the Piazza della Signoria, designed the courtyard of the Palazzo Pitti and created the exquisite curve of the Sta. Trinita bridge over the Arno. Benvenuto Cellini did for Cosimo the bronze Perseus decapitating Medusa that still stands in the Loggia dei Lanzi, an allegory of the triumph of Virtue over Cosimo's enemies. Medusa's gore, solidified in bronze streams, is one of the most (literally) bloodcurdling images in all Renaissance art, and the little study for her head, also by Cellini, is a thing...

...carved. Once an arch tormentor of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi - who has ofttimes been satirized with a nose of Pinocchian proportions - Benigni now says that whatever his failings as a statesman, Berlusconi is "a bloody good businessman." Could this have anything to do with the fact that Berlusconi's Medusa Group is distributing Pinocchio in Italy?

In a punishment crueler even than nasal elongation, the snappers all filed a single picture...

...film roles is no mean feat. Even “supporting” characters in Monsters, Inc., are no less realized—take Celia, for example, Mike’s recurring girlfriend who has a voice and personality like Audrey in Little Shop Of Horrors and hair like Medusa. The offbeat animators at Pixar have cleverly inserted many more references into Monsters, Inc., which devoted (and even not-so-devoted) movie buffs will be able to recognize. Toy Story nostalgics will cheer at elements of the Toy Story 2 airport scenes—absolutely no one can make animated...
