Giuseppina was sitting on a low wall in the terrace,
under the pergola of the Panarea house…
In her portrait, which I painted that day, our separation and an almost
hostile presence could already be perceived.
When the painting has been remade in 2001, in the sad remembering of our
love, the features of the face had been cancelled, while changed also the
joyful light of a summer day, for becoming the dramatic aura in which the
figure is merged. Nevertheless, the green of hope, the pink of a new aurora
and the golden embroidery of the dress announce the sacredness of such a
detachment. |
