    The Kiss in the Moon of Zamboni - Paolo Palma

    The kiss in the moon - Paolo Palma

   Summary Author:  Paolo Palma

   The Italian poet  Filippo Zamboni and his wife Emilia Dagnen were
   watching the  Moon from the  Villa Reale of Capodimonte in
   Naples, Italy, in August of 1880, when they noticed the “Kiss in the
   Moon,” the loveliest  pareidolia visible on the  face of our
   satellite. On the bottom photo we can see the Moon rising on August 14,
   2019 ( the day before the full Moon), from the same royal garden
   where Filippo and Emilia made their discovery. Note  Mt. Vesuvius,
   at left.  Many astronomers, such as  Cerulli, remarked that they had
   never been able to see Luna and Luno share their kiss. “Only the
   sensitivity of a poet could realize it,” Zamponi replied.

   Photo details: Nikon 42x Coolpix 510 camera; 4.3-180 mm. I gradually
   superimposed one of Zamboni's drawings on my snaps of the Moon to make
   it easier to identify the faces of the two lovers.
