This work is in generally good overall condition. The canvas is slightly vawy and there are minor threadlike and stalbe craquelures along lower left border. No traces of retouching appear to be under UV light.

"Ed ecco Roma, emblema della frammentarietà e della sedimentazione, dell'universalità e del particolare, della solitudine e della gioia festosa, dei panorami stereotipati e dei misteriosi anfratti. Prendono corpo 'esseri orribili' pronti a ferire e sezionare la città, a donarne frammenti spaventosamente offerti al rito sacrificale di una fabulazione visionaria e allucinata."
(D. Eccher, Enzo Cucchi. Roma, Bologna 1990, pag. 18)
