I was born knowing that I had to be a painter, because my father, an art historian, always presented painting as the only acceptable thing in life.

Only thanks to Pop Art, my painting has become understandable.

I love America. I lived here too but my links are exclusively Italian.

My life provides me with these images that become expressions of my daily experience.

You begin looking at things and they look just fine, as normal as ever, but then you look for a while longer and your feelings get involved and they begin changing things for you and they go on and on till you only see your feelings, and that's why you see this mess.

I call prodigy all that is invented, all that begins to exist from the second it is conceived, it is the process not the results, the principle and not the fruits.

I know how pathetically inadequate my medium [painting] is, but unfortunately I dispose of no other.
