    Un po' di storia

    Nel medioevo, la vita media degli uomini era di 40-45 anni e l'assistenza

    sanitaria inesistente.

     

    Quando un uomo moriva, per certificarne la morte veniva chiamato il "medico

    condotto", il quale, per verificare l'effettivo decesso, usava infliggere

    dolore al deceduto.

     

    Il modo più comune utilizzato in quel tempo era un potente morso inflitto

    alle dita dei piedi (quasi sempre l'alluce).

     

    Nel dialetto del popolino, il medico assunse così il nome di "beccamorto".

     

    Questa pratica diede origine ad un vero e proprio mestiere.

     

    La tradizione prevedeva che tale mestiere fosse tramandato dal padre al

    primo figlio maschio; tuttavia, verso la fine del medioevo accadde qualcosa

    che cambiò il futuro dei beccamorti.

     

    Uno dei beccamorti più famosi non riuscì a concepire un figlio maschio, la

    moglie partorì 4 figlie femmine.

     

    Il beccamorto, per evitare l'estinzione del mestiere, domandò alla Chiesa

    la dispensa per poter tramandare la professione alla propria figlia

    femmina, la quale, dopo aver ricevuto la benedizione, iniziò il suo lavoro

    di beccamorto.

     

    Il caso volle che il suo primo morto fosse un uomo al quale un carro aveva

    tranciato entrambe le gambe; la ragazza era indecisa su dove infliggere il

    morso, e alla fine, prese una decisione.....

     

    Nacquero così le pompe funebri.

    Ciao mia amica,
    I am doing fine, thanks for asking. What about you?
    Tomorrow I am going to go to the lake where I spent all my childhood summers, I am soo exciting, the temperature will be about +33C, so maybe I will open a swimming season. What about your plans for this weekend?
    Buona giornata
    Gabi
