MoRi

the famous Latin sentence

“Memento mori” (Remember you must die)

takes its origin from an habit

Reported by the historian tertullian:

When a general came back to Rome after a great victory,

he ran the risk of being overwhelmed

By the honor of people and the sense of omnipotence.

to avoid it, a servant was instructed to remind him of his

human and mortal nature,

Whispering these words in his ear.

It’s just a kind invitation

to enjoy the beauty of our life

With dignity and right attitude.
