Letter of thanks to the artists

​

“To my friends Ennio Calabria, Franco Ferrari, Alfio Mongelli and Daniela Ventrone.

Beloved,

I wish to thank the kindness that you have had, together with our friend Ugo Bongarzoni, in participating in the conception of the beautiful art cover for the essays book offered to our friend Sergio Rossi. Rarely, a concord so spontaneous and disinterested around artistic facts, especially if the art performers are, like all of you, recognized and appreciated at the highest levels. But this also shows that the higher is the caliber of the artistis’ ethic, much less in them is the degree of useless isolation that others, in any field, tend to. Such a book to be appreciated must contain interesting essays (and the results you will know after reading), but your "front door", in its expressive creativity, it presents, even before reading, endless depth elements immediately stimulants.

For all this then, again, you want to receive my heartfelt gratitude.”
