I have spoken extensively about the culture of Rome and Tuscany but I cannot ignore the previous civilization that marked the history but essentially the culture of vast areas of the Mediterranean. I’m talking about Greece but also about Southern Italy which was largely influenced by it. This is why I called the collection Magna Grecia because I recognize the notable role played by those peoples in the sciences and arts. I don’t want to review history but just take inspiration from their stereotypes because they are very beautiful ideas that will never die. For example, thinking about the myth of Venus or that of mermaids among many others. I would like to point out that I have not taken up the artistic dictates of every people I have honoured but I have always followed my own.
