White is the set of all the colors of the electromagnetic spectrum, but if you mix the primary colors on the palette will get black.
Black and white are the two short sides of the same coin, and much depends on the perspective from which they shall be considered. White is the color of purity, light and beauty. But in China do not go to a party with a white dress. In fact, white indicates the country in mourning, death and ghosts.
When it comes to black and white one can not talk about the colors of the stones of our territory. In particular, white marble and granite.
A little known thing is that the original facade of the Duomo was built with alternating rows of white marble Candoglia in Ossola, and made from green marble quarry Oira on Lake Orta. Lazarus Agostino Cotta, a native of Ameno, testifies that this was done because of reputation for stone Cusiana.
In terms of color, in other words, the ancient facade of the Duomo of Milan looked a bit 'to the Duomo of Monza. The more that this, in the early twentieth century, was restored with its green marble Oira.
In 1682 it was decided to change the facade of the Duomo in Milan, but it took several centuries to allow for completion. Moreover, the length of the work of the Cathedral (officially ended only in 1966) is proverbial in Milan, where the expression "as the building of the cathedral" means works that go with a maddening slowness.
About Candoglia marble, a few years ago was found on the bottom of the lake increased a boat, about 22 feet long by 7 wide, full of stones probably from Candoglia quarries and for the Fabbrica del Duomo in Milan.
The journey of these stones is well known: they were transported by boat on Lake Maggiore, the Ticino and the ships to the dock of the Pond (now Lake street, near State University).
materials traditionally traveled "to UFOs." Nothing to do with flying saucers, of course. These boats were exempted from payment of duties, as the cathedral of Milan, a public work. The goods were marked by "ad usum Fabricae" abbreviated "to UF." The term popular travel "to uf" (in Italian "to UFO") is still used to say "free."
Quello del marmo di Condoglia non fu l’unico viaggio su lunghe distanze delle pietre della nostra terra.
Il viaggio più incredibile è probabilmente quello compiuto delle colonne di granito bianco del Montorfano (ma altre se ne aggiunsero in seguito, delle cave di Baveno e Alzo di Pella) destinate alla Basilica di San Paolo fuori le mura a Roma: 2220 chilometri via acqua, scendendo il Lago Maggiore, il Ticino, i Navigli fino a Milano e da qui lungo il Po sino alla foce. Poi a Venezia per essere imbarcate su due navi che, circumnavigando l’Italia e risalendo il Tevere le scaricarono a Roma.
