Information
pencil and ink on thin cardboard
25 x 36 cm
Original title page made by Battaglia for "A patron for Venice", published for the first time in the pages of Messaggero dei Ragazzi n. 18 of 1974. An act of love by Battaglia for his hometown: << There are places that I particularly love but they belong to the past: they are dark, crumbling, forgotten. They are slightly smelly places with stagnant water where the buildings are bulging, slowly descending. (...) when I arrive in Venice I change my attitude, my way of moving, of thinking... it is so important that I cannot describe it, there are so many hidden things that do not want to come out. >> Watercolored on the back.
