Air, Water, Earth, Fire... here
the Sigillum was created. In the ancestral force
of Nature it was forged. In Enlightment, Divination and Art
it was framed.
It was told that in a different
time, so different from the one we are living in, the Sigillum
had been given by a Noble and Ancient Spirit to a craft of
travelling musicians, coming from an unknown burg. A burg
lost in a far-off time country where Beauty and Creation were
the highest values.
The craft - whose name is, and
since then was, Ataraxia - was invested by a
precious and rare task : to spread the Music through space
and time.
Autumn 2001 - Lodge of Arceto
Castle - Public auction. In the vaults beneath the Théatre
de l’Opera in Paris has been recently found a casket filled
with bizarre reliquies belonging to that ancient craft. Among
them, the Sigillum.
Autumn 1696 - Lodge of the
Ducal Palace in Formigine. Four musicians are playing for
the courtiers. A red presence, suddenly summoned by the music,
is not perceived by the witnessing spectators. The force of
the Sigillum has been awakened.
March 1912 - In the vaults
of the Théatre de l’Opera in Paris. The mask
is torn out from the dark presence. The force of the Sigillum
is thrown away.
Autumn 2001 - S. Ruffino -
At night time. The casket is opened. The Sigillum
found again. The Ancestral Spirit is free to reveal itself
once more.
