Gli Inganni di Cleopatra
Fonti per lo studio dei profumi antichi
by Giuseppe Squillace
Cleopatra sails up the river Cydno to meet Mark Antony by a sumptuous boat with a golden stern; music accompanie the oarsmens while the burned essences enveloping the ship in a perfumed cloud. It is obvious that Mark Anthony agrees to board the Cleopatra’s boat. This is the beginnin of the one of rhe most famous love affairs in History. Perfume is present in all Mediterranean cultures, since ancient times and reveals daily habits, psychological implications of social interaction: a real life beyond wars, politics and economics.
