Maccora of the Weissenbruch in Turin ...His painting is rich in content: a painting that does not allow half measures, nor second thoughts. To an observersuperficial, it reveals what it really is: a work of vast commitment, capable of bringing forward a socio-cultural discussion and raising public awareness of the problems and imbalances still so present in our society. Its themes are extremely varied and possess the liveliness and freshness of a splendid fairy tale, made for those with clear eyes and a clean soul.
