About the Item

MOTHERHOOD  THIS WORK (R:0370) of 1983 entitled "Motherhood of olive" combines the love for the countryside to what I had inside me for my mother. But it also comes from a large olive tree that I had in S. Agata dei Goti, a town near Naples where I bought a beautiful property to spend the weekends with my very young children (the last Cristina will be born the following year 1984). Memories of the most beautiful that I keep because it became a refuge to escape from Naples, which after the earthquake of 1980 had become uninhabitable.

These first 21 years of artistic work were characterized by my spirits of dreamer of a bucolic world and of great relationships of friendship remained for all the life and of tender and platonic love. Just what I was looking for as a counterweight to my mother’s nonaffection. And motherhood has become one of my favorite subjects certainly because I suffered from a young relationship with an affective mother not to say "military"! But as an adult and even more as a father I realized that, being a rebel if she had not "bent" me, life would do it. And then it would have been much more painful! Finally, a few years before he died (2010) I realized that he was a "sparrow" when Alzheimer’s made disappear that "armor" that protected him as it happens to many of us dreamers and sometimes deluded...
