00:00It is thought that the origin of Polizzi's name is due to this goddess.
00:05There are no direct accounts that I know of regarding the statue,
00:11also because the statue had been hidden or lost for centuries.
00:18It slowly lost its function and was adopted, as we all know,
00:23as a support for a baptismal font in a Christian church.
00:28It was a sacrilegious act to place a mythological statue in a church.
00:36This is what terrorised the bishop.
00:40In front of everyone, he had it demolished.
00:45He thought of calling a monk and having it torn to shreds.
00:55Polizzi's people, those who were in charge,
00:59protested against the statue, but they didn't give up.
01:05We lost an old statue, but I don't know how to judge it,
01:10but it will be history.
01:25THE STATUE
01:39It is a historical piece of the city that we are missing.
01:43Apart from the protest, or not protest,
01:45the reenactment of the protest is missing.
01:48It is no longer there.
