“La distanza da Milano a Roma era breve. La A1, appena completata e vuota, permetteva un viaggio velocissimo ed in allegria perché, appena lasciate le brume padane, si andava con gli amici romani a fare colazione... la differenza di clima non riguardava solo quella atmosferica; quello che affascinava noi che venivamo dal nord era la diversità dei rapporti intercorrenti tra artisti di varie tendenze e di diverse generazioni e la promiscuità di operatori delle più varie discipline”.
