"Homage to Gabriele Buccola"
A mural dedicated to a great figure from Mezzojuso, Gabriele Buccola, born on 26 January 1854, is considered one of the pioneers of the birth of Italian scientific psychology. He received an initial education at the Basilian monastery and the Greek-Albanian seminary (two religious centers in Mezzojuso) where he achieved a solid humanistic education inspired by the Eastern Catholic rite. During his short but intense scientific activity which lasted only a decade, from 1875 to 1885, he established himself as a central figure in the European dialogue between different psychological theories. In his work Jarus portrays him in a simple but austere pose, his hands relaxed on his knees and a face that reveals the serenity of someone who has no regrets in life. Buccola seems like a man of our times, he is portrayed with contemporary clothing, so different from what was used in the 19th century. And what better metaphor to underline the relevance of his figure, the modernity of his thought?
