He guesses in every stone ancient civilizations

Is there anybody who never wondered at seeing a stone which seemed a tool or the representation of an animal in miniature or even a human face? Sure, in these situations you always consider them “nature oddities”. But is it really so?
According to Luigi Lineri the stones that amaze us were not modelled by weather humours but by our ancient grandfathers during the stone age. It’s a fascinating theory that Lineri has been following up, alone in Italy and probably in Europe, for more than twenty years.
As a matter of fact, Luigi who is also a dialectal poet, started to be interested in stones after reading a French book on prehistory. “Why – Lineri asked himself – does everybody look for something of our past in far away places such as Egypt or Peru? Do we live in a place where man didn’t live?”.
And so he started walking along the banks of Adige river , looking for stones. It took ten years of research and picking before he realized the mysteries hidden in those stone shapes.
“I understood – Lineri exclaims – that the stones I had meticulously chosen were the evidence of the stone civilization and that from them i could perceive the different steps of evolution that man had taken in that period”.
Lineri has destined a great room to his stones, cataloguing and ordering them according to their structure. The sensation you feel looking at them is astonishing and it’s really hard to believe that they were picked up from the ground and not fruit of the hand of a sculptur. In fact these stones, out of the anonimity of the great river screes, have the most different shapes, from an axe to a sheep, from a fish to a woman body.
“Moreover – as Lineri puts out – many stones do not have only one meaning: if you observe them from different angulations you see that they represent manifold figures. One of these stones, for instance, put apeak gives the idea of an ancient axe, but if you put it in a horizontal positin it looks like a fish”.
And then there are stones which, observed from different points of view, represent up to three or four objects and animals. The question could be: why did this stone civilization never be studied? Why is it still ignored?
“Maybe – Lineri explains – it was a civilization removed by the following societies because it was witness of a terrible period and also because it was suffocated by Roman and Christian civilization”.
But he, Lineri, wanted to get back that sculpture made of stone and put it as the “alphabet” of his art, which expresses itself through ceramics. But his research has not dried up: our searcher of lost stones keeps up his collection on the banks of Adige river in order to finding out the other shapes that forgotten civilizations were able to produce.
