From the introductory essay by professor Paolo Bellini:
"(...) The world art prints - I refer to the
original prints still mantaining and respecting the characteristics
of the instruments used to engrave - is a small large world awaiting
to be explored, populated and teeming with precious signs and pecularities.
To be seen and appreciated, these require a lenght of time that
is often unavailable in our frenetic style of life. (...)"
