Summary: "I mattoidi al primo concorso pel monumento in Roma a Vittorio Emanuele II" by Carlo Dossi is a satirical commentary written in the late 19th century. The work critiques the artistic proposals submitted for the monument to King Victor Emmanuel II, highlighting the bizarre and often ludicrous nature of these submissions. Dossi examines the intersection of madness and creativity, suggesting that the realm of folly brings forth ideas that, while impractical, reveal a deeper artistic truth. The opening of the text sets the tone for Dossi's exploration of the absurdity surrounding the artistic proposals for the monument. He addresses the critics who dismiss his work as outdated and emphasizes the relevance of studying folly in the realm of human creativity. As he reviews the various designs submitted for the competition, Dossi notes the prevalence of ill-conceived, amateurish, and absurdity-laden proposals, highlighting the contrast between genuine artistic ambitions and the ridiculousness evident in many of the entries. His witty and critical observations provide a glimpse into a broader commentary on the state of art and intellect in society, effectively drawing the reader into a world where madness and creativity intertwine.
