	Erasmo of Narni - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Erasmo of Narni (1370 - 1443), better known as "Gattamelata", (nickname meaning "The Honeyed Cat") was among the most famous of the condottieri or mercenaries in the Italian Renaissance.
		He was born in Narni, and served a number of Italian city-states: he began with Braccio da Montone, served Pope and Florence equally, and served Venice in 1434 in the battles with the Visconti of Milan.
		He was the subject of Donatello's equestrian bronze sculpture in the main square of Padua, the same city over which he became dictator in 1437.

		The Gattamelata, [what] which was a life size equestrian monument highly reminiscent of the famous equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius in Rome, memorialized the well-known condottieri Erasmo di Narni, [who #two] who had led the Venetian forces in the early 15th century.
		The highly public placement of the monument in the Padua's most important piazza, in front of the city's principal church of St. Anthony's, invites one to consider how the Gattamelata might be a conscious embodiment of the political and social ideology of the city of Padua.
		Such a consideration might lend some insight, in a general way, into how Italian city states in the Renaissance used art to personify their civic ideals, while also determining specifically how Padua represented itself in the image of the famous general.

		The Gattamelata’s mount is a strong square war horse, formidably serviceable, with stocky legs, the neck and chest of a bull, and a fierce head.
		The Gattamelata himself is quite different, the epitome of balance, and a confidence the source of which is inward.
		The clarity represented in the Gattamelata is not enough, the steady vision with which he looks straight ahead, taking in the world.

		The equestrian statue is a monument to the Italian commander Erasmo da Narni, also called Gattamelata.
		The statue is almost 3.5 m high, and the plaster cast in Vestindisk Pakhus goes through two floors, so that on the second floor it is possible to study many details that cannot be seen in Padua.
		Gattamelata was the first equestrian statue to stand by itself on a public square since the time of the Roman emperors.

	Anecdote - Donatello - Gattamelata (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Donatello was once commissioned to sculpt an equestrian statue of the condottiere Erasmoda Narni ("Gattamelata"), the Signori of Venice.
		Incessantly pestered to finish the work, Donatello one day lost his temper and smashed the statue's head with a hammer.
		The Signori in turn threatened to repay Donatello in similar fashion.

	Images of Equestrian monument of Gattamelata by Donatello
		This monument, set on a high marble base, is in front of Sant'Antonio, the main church of Padua in a space then used as a cemetery.
		The work is a powerful statement of Renaissance respect for military commanders since usually only heads of state would have received such honor; the horse's hoof, for example is on an orb, the ancient symbol for control over the earth.
		And although Gattamelata had died in his seventies, Donatello idealizes the general at the height of his powers.

	COMMENTS
		The answer begins with Donatello's Gattamelata, and why grown men of the world fell on their knees and wept when they first saw it six hundred and fifty years ago, and then the dinner menu arrives and I have to go...
		It would be a long time after Gattamelata until people routinely lived with something that had been the broad routine in Rome a thousand years before Donatello's marvel: running water.
		And a great part of the American assertion of culture was a rejection of all the worst that had gone before, everywhere else.

	Equestrian Statue of Gattamelata, Padua
		To the side of the church stands the equestrian statue of Gattamelata.
		Donatello, the talented sculptor of the Early Renaissance, who worked in Padua from 1441 to 1453, created the bronze statue between 1447 and 1453 in honor of Erasmo da Narni.
		The latter was commander-in-chief of the Venetian army (against Milan) and his diplomatic skill earned him the name of "Gattamelata" (spotted cat).

	I Vini D.O.C. (eng)
		Erasmo da Narni, known as the "Gattamelata" (1370-1443), was a mercenary captain; a bold, daring and brave condottiere involved in famous exploits against Maria Visconti in defence of Venice, he gained promotion to the position of general captain of the Serenissima.
		The "Consorzio Vini D.O.C. Colli Euganei" helps its associates in various ways: it carries out chemical tests in its own laboratories, as well as organoleptic tests; it encourages the use of more rational techniques in relation to cultivation, wine pest defence and wine making so refining production.
		The Consorzio grants the stamp-mark depicting the Gattamelata, only to those wines that meet the relative requirements laid down and after it has been aproved by the wine tasting Committee (art.

	Condottieri and the Great Equestrian Statues and Paintings of Renaissance Italy
		The mechanics of the statue are more advanced than in Donatello's work below, as the horse is balanced on three legs and more clearly in movement, but the bare head of Gattamelata is said to be a more skilled piece of human sculpturing.
		He finished the models, but sadly died of a chill in 1488, leaving Alessandro Leopardi to handle the casting of the statue and design of the pedestal.
