1998. After I hand-woven a train for a railway station in Norway, I am preparing to emigrate to Norway. Mr. Diseperati (Mr. "Hopeless"), which has an art gallery in the Hotel Saturnia (VIP thermal baths), he offers me a show in that hotel. Daniel Spoerri is invited to the inauguration, so he approves my project of Global Home. Then I no longer migrated to Norway.

G. , in full possession of my faculty of weaving, I have hand-woven these scarves with a thread so thin that, in every scarf, there are 2 kilometers and 160 meters of yarn... all passed through my my hands. I was deligthed like a spider :-)"No weaver would dare to warp with a thread like this! It's just good for the weft" I was told by Mr. Pucci, who is the father of that yarn.

I abstracted myself from the MADE CatalogueI’ve been living on hand-weaving, for over thirty years. This may be answer to the classic question: “Can one live by weaving?” In my case, however, weaving is not really a job. It’s much less and much more: it’s more of an existential than economic enterprise, and certainly not exempt from madness. But, as Hölderlin claims, madness is the essence of the
