“Dear Ugo, I happily received your book yesterday which I read and contemplated. I find it extraordinary that the shapes and the formless and abstract qualities that are in fashion today were created by you some time ago, at a time when no one even dreamed of this kind of artistic representation. When is your next elucidatory and grand exhibition? You were already travelling through time as a child. It would be marvellous if the paternity of your work were recognized. You deserve it. I am proud to have appreciated you and hung your first pieces on my walls, and especially to have always been a good friend of yours.”

Mario Micheletti, 1963
