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.
