Sin embargo, nadie a quien hasta el momento hab\u00eda preguntado, sab\u00eda quien era este Picio lamentablemente famoso. Cual fue mi sorpresa al descubrir que el personaje real parece ser Francisco Picio, un zapatero natural del pueblo de Alhend\u00edn, en mi Granada natal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Parece ser que este se\u00f1or fue condenado a muerte por el asesinato de su esposa, pero justo antes de ser ajusticiado, el verdadero asesino confes\u00f3. Debido a la tensi\u00f3n que hab\u00eda sufrido, el pobre desgraciado perdi\u00f3 el pelo, pesta\u00f1as y cejas incluidas, y el rostro se le llen\u00f3 de p\u00fastulas. Es por esto que pas\u00f3 a ser ejemplo de fealdad m\u00e1xima, y la gente rehu\u00eda su contacto. Se mud\u00f3 varias veces, y normalmente ocultaba su rostro y evitaba las multitudes, pues alguna vez sali\u00f3 malparado m\u00e1s de una vez. Cuentan que finalmente se refugi\u00f3 en Granada, y vivi\u00f3 de su oficio de zapatero hasta su muerte. Quiz\u00e1 opin\u00e9is como yo que es injusto que aquello que en vida le caus\u00f3 desgracia, hizo que fuese inmortalizado en esta expresi\u00f3n. A partir de hoy, creo que la usar\u00e9 menos. \u00a1Eso si, siempre me gustar\u00e1 esta canci\u00f3n!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"que se mueran los feos\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Kje7ljCBqik?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>To be as ugly as sin<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This is an idiom that we usually use to refer to the ugliness of a person. Nevertheless, nobody I had asked to up to now knew who this lamentably famous Picio was. To my surprise I discovered that the real person seems to be Francisco Picio, a natural shoemaker from Alhend\u00edn, a village in my home town, Granada.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It seems that this gentleman was condemned for the murder of his wife, but just before being executed, the real murderer confessed. Due to the tension that he had suffered, this unfortunate person lost the hair, eyelashes and eyebrows included, and his face was filled with pustules. It is why he was considered an example of maximum ugliness, and people avoided his contact. He moved several times, and usually he hided his face and avoided the multitudes, because he ended up in a sorry state more than once. It is said that he finally sheltered in Granada, and he lived of his shoemaker\u2019s job up to his death. Maybe you think as I do that it is unfair that the thing that caused his misfortune in life was that made him to be immortalized in this expression. From now on I think I will use it less. But I will always love this song!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Esta es una frase hecha que usamos de forma habitual, para referirnos a la fealdad de una persona.
