Background
In the same period of this manuscript, Afro has a growing international success: he is invited to II. Documenta in Kassel, and was the winner of the prize in Pittsburgh and the prize for Italy at the Solomon R. Guggenheim in New York. The Guggenheim bought his painting "Night Flight"(1957). In 1961 J. J. Sweeney, the curator of the Guggenheim Museum in New York, dedicated a splendid monograph to him.
Although his succes, Afro never forgot his patron of art, the Countess Anna Laetitia Pecci Blunt, best-known as "Mimì", that founded La Cometa Gallery in Rome in 1935(until 1938), together with the Italian poet Libero de Libero, and the support of Leonardo Sinisgalli and Corrado Cagli, an intimate Afro's friend.
