After conducting research on the period, I discovered that the Emperor of China at that time was Kublai Khan. I was astonished to see that his headdress was identical to the Venetian pole, and even the final pinnacle had the shape of an acorn. Some time later, I learned that Marco Polo had married one of the Emperor’s daughters.<\/p>\n
I presume that Venice adopted the image of the pole as a tribute to the Emperor and positioned it in front of the aristocratic palaces. If that were the case, we are talking about a journey through time of over 700 years! Regardless of the accuracy of the research, I wanted to bring this story to life by giving it my own personal interpretation.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.limacreazioni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/istockphoto-1026667840-612×612-1.jpg” title_text=”Kublai Khan-bricola-lima-creazioni” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ width=”80%” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”right” animation_intensity_slide=”20%” always_center_on_mobile=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ custom_padding=”50px||50px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”50px||50px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_css_main_element_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_css_main_element_tablet=”display: flex;||flex-direction: column-reverse;” custom_css_main_element_phone=”display: flex;||flex-direction: column-reverse;”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.limacreazioni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/lima-creazioni-venezia.jpg” title_text=”lima-creazioni-venezia” show_bottom_space=”off” force_fullwidth=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ custom_margin=”30px||||false|false” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”left” animation_intensity_slide=”20%” border_width_all=”0px” always_center_on_mobile=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ custom_padding=”20px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Titolo” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ text_orientation=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Then, cut to a length of approximately 11-13 meters, it is transformed into a “Bricola” (wooden post).<\/p>\n
Used as a marker for navigable parts of the sea, it becomes an active part of the life of the water city. Today, with its cracks and erosions, it tells the story of its existence.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”50px||50px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Titolo” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ text_orientation=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

However, despite this, I recognized in it the wisdom and knowledge that only an old object can tell. I took it in my arms and brought it to my workshop, where I cleaned it from dirt, dried it, and freed it from the corroded parts sculpted by the sea.<\/p>\n
I then placed it next to my woodworking bench and waited for it to indicate how it desired to be transformed. Once we entered into symbiosis, understanding every crack, knot, hole, and nail, the process of transformation began, which will only end when it finds its place on the brushed steel pedestal, next to its piece shaped by the sea.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.limacreazioni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/lima-creazioni_Q4C0006.jpg” title_text=”lima-creazioni_Q4C0006″ align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ width=”100%” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”right” animation_intensity_slide=”20%” always_center_on_mobile=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”50px||50px||true|false” custom_padding=”||||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_css_main_element_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_css_main_element_tablet=”display: flex;||flex-direction: column-reverse;” custom_css_main_element_phone=”display: flex;||flex-direction: column-reverse;”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.limacreazioni.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/collezione-venezia-Q4C0130.jpg” title_text=”collezione-venezia-Q4C0130″ show_bottom_space=”off” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ height=”600px” height_tablet=”680px” height_phone=”480px” height_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_margin=”30px||||false|false” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”left” animation_intensity_slide=”20%” always_center_on_mobile=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ custom_padding=”30px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Titolo” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ text_orientation=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Thus, I become the prince who dresses it in a new gown and will introduce it to the salons of villas around the world, bearing witness to the beauty of Venice in the centuries to come.<\/p>\n
