This work appears to be in very good overall condition. There are two minor chips along the base of the sculpture. There are few pin-pointed losses on one of the upper tops. No traces of retouching appear to be visible under UV light.

“Io voglio dire semplicemente certe cose mie. Come gli ubriachi che, di notte, ti vogliono dire i loro fatti. Come chi è innamorato e racconta anche ciò che non dovrebbe. Come chi ha avuto un grande dolore, una gran perdita, che di notte, al buio, nel letto, ripete ancora certe parole a voce alta e poi le parole fuori di lui, nel silenzio della notte diventano ormai un'altra cosa.” "I just want to say something about myself. Like those drunks who want to tell you something about themselves in the middle of the night. Like a person in love who says something they shouldn't. Like someone who has suffered a great loss pain and talks to himself in bed at night, because in the silence of the darkness words take on a different meaning."
