“Credo, come affermavo sin dall’inizio, che non ci si debba porre il quesito di che cosa Scheggi avrebbe potuto realizzare se fosse vissuto più a lungo. Ritengo davvero che il breve percorso del Suo operare abbia dato vita ad un gruppo di lavori che, sin dai primissimi tentativi, rivelano un grado eccezionale di maturità come del resto le ultime “azioni” e le ultime performance stavano ad indicare un nuovo cammino che doveva divenire imperante nell’immediato futuro e di cui la sensibilità di Paolo aveva intuito il prossimo manifestarsi.”

Gillo Dorfles, Milano, Settembre 2002

 “I believe, as I stated from the start, that we should not ask the question of what could have Scheggi achieved if he would have lived longer. I consider that the short path of his actions gave life to a group of works which, right from the beginning, revealed themselves to be extremely mature as well as his last “performaces” were indicating a new direction that could have become relevant in the immediate future of which Paolo had guessed its imminent manifestation.”
