The work recalls the words that the founder of the community of San Marino, my homeland, would have addressed before dying to his people at the beginning of the 4th century AD. The message of freedom contained in this sentence is transformed, in my interpretation, into a mantra which has to be reiterated two, three, ten, a hundred times, in order to reaffirm these principles and let them finally be heard. For this purpose, the phrase is repeated in several works made in different materials. I have tried to represent, with an irregular, battered surface, and with spots of color, the attempts to hide and obscure the meaning of these words, which, despite this, continue to re-emerge in all their power.
