Vittorio Emanuele II, the first king of an united Italy, is thinking: “I would like to try a scooter now...”See also: What Statues Think - What Leopold Is Thinking - What Time Is It? - Sad Nereid - Guerrino of Montenero - Fisherman's Thought - Caged Emperor - Garibaldi's Doubt - A Ticket Too Much
Very funny VP, but somehow I don't think he'd look quite so magnificent on a scooter...all jokes aside that's a very impressive looking sculpture, I'm in awe of the talent artists have or had!!
ReplyDeleteHe might be thinking of this centuries old Proverb:
ReplyDeleteFOR WANT OF A NAIL
"For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail."
("Hmmmm...when was the last time I had the shoes on this horse rotated?")
Great shot of King Vittorio!
I bet you he would be happy riding the scooter around!
ReplyDeleteMore thinking... I think he is wondering if it's allowed to use a cell phone while galloping. ;)
ReplyDeleteVery impressive looking statue.
ReplyDeleteHow many horsepower in a mere scooter?
ReplyDeleteIf the king gives up his steed, I would gladly adopt it.
oh, no, i think he feels very much at home on that horse.
ReplyDeleteWhat a strong, noble sculpture of the king!
ReplyDeleteYes, that would be exactly what he would think :^)
ReplyDeleteIl re in motorino eheheheh! Ciao, Arianna
ReplyDeleteHehe clever words:) The statue looks impressive!
ReplyDeleteThat is a good idea!:)
ReplyDeleteIf he was living up here in the north, he might had wanted to try a snow scooter...
Anyway, tonight we have got the first snow.
More up in the mountains, and further north in Norway.
How about roller blading?
ReplyDeleteThe angle you took this shot is fantastic!
