En el corazón de la enigmática Capilla Sansevero de Nápoles, una figura de mármol capta la luz con una fragilidad casi imposible: La Modestia (Pudicizia), también conocida como La Modestia Velada o Castidad Velada.

Have you ever read the Song of Songs? It is a singular and captivating text that is part of the Bible, a literary jewel that has puzzled and fascinated theologians, poets, and artists for centuries. At first glance, it narrates the passionate story of two lovers: a young shepherd and the beautiful Shulamite, a figure of unparalleled beauty and charm. It may seem strange that such an intense, almost erotic love poem in its language and description, achieved such a prominent place in the canon of the Holy Scriptures.

The myth of Berenice and her hair is a story from Greek mythology that connects the passions of the human heart with the vastness of the cosmos.
