Robertson Davies: The Cornish Trilogy: “The Rebel Angels" Mamusia led Hollier to a heavy wooden door and we walked into a room where we had to use candles. What immediately seized you was the smell, which was not foul, but very strong, heavy, and warm; I can only describe it as a combination of wet wool and stable, but concentrated. All around the walls stood large, heavily elegant shapes; they were rounded, and seemed almost like mute human figures; in racks in the middle of the room were smaller versions of these man-sized cases, plump and gleaming. They gleamed because they were made of copper, so that they twinkled and took the light in a manner that was almost jewel-like, but subdued. This was not the thin, cheap copper of the commercial jug or ornament, but the finest metal, very costly in the modern market. It seemed to be a cave of treasure. At a Mamusia’s direction, Yerko took a knife and deftly broke the heavy wax seal at the uppermost end of one of the small copper vessels, lifted the lid and at once a powerful essence of the prevailing smell escaped. Inside, in a bed of what looked like dark-brown earth, lay a figure swathed in wool. Mamusia unwrapped the figure, which was bandaged at least six layers deep, and there we saw a violin. Hollier put out his hand to touch the brown dust that surrounded the woollen cloth. – Damp – he said. - Of course it is damp. And it is alive, too. Don’t you know what that is?” Horse dung - said Mamusia - The best; thoroughly rotted and sieved, and from horses in mighty health.

Sandro spent his childhodd in Venice and he will carry the enchantement of that incredible architectural invention along all his life. His family moved to Milan on 1954. That will be his own town during all the youth and the maturity. He moved to Barcelona on 1998, when he meet Anna, his third wife.
