Yes, Yours was truly an act of courage that borders on provocation. Just look at the uproar that has caused: the poets and thinkers, the sublime is that, normally, high-flying… and a little deign of those eking out a low… you are found instantly overwhelmed by a kind of whirlwind. Well, I applaud and agree with them.” Only last march, his Milan – the city that had adopted him, he was born in Sangiano, a village in the province of Varese, on march 24, 1926 – he had celebrated his 90 birthday with a public holiday.
