The Fades are three sisters, who appear in the Greek mythology, daughters of Zeus and Temi. They lived in the Olympus and their work was to weave the people's lives, pratice linked to the mantain of the control of it. Of the three sisters, Cloto spun the thread, Lachesis turned the spindle to twist the wire, namely she determined good or bad changes in the people's lives; the older sister, Atropo, instead used the scissors to cut the life's wire, thus causing the end of life of people. The scissors represent a perfect instrument to identify the clear separation between life and death, an irreversible cut.
