Summary

English: Engraving by Cherubino Alberti from an original work by Polidoro da Caravaggio, Zeus embracing Ganymede (16th century). Some people want to see a bag of money in the young man’s hand — alluding to the prostitution — but others consider it to be some sort of male genitalia.
Italiano: Copia rovesciata da originale di Polidoro da Caravaggio, Giove bacia Ganimede (sec. XVII). Si noti la borsa di denaro nella mano del giovane, che allude chiaramente alla prostituzione, in spregio al mito pagano.
