" An exhibition that, according to us, was a success in many aspects. Especially for the fact that Rome did not see for a long time a successful painter who had something serious to say.

Final notes of sentimentality because " they all said that this was an exhibition for “La Cometa" theatre ", which had closed and moved to America.
