A cut of fire tears across the sky at night, giving all the range of blues and cobalt blues of the firmament.
Once again Bucci surprises for invention and realization, anticipating the crossing of the work through a bleeding wound, seasoned with a memory of precarious divisionism. In the foreground, the soldiers, in the trenches, watch the scene from behind, mute, invisible and helpless in the face of war events.
Galleria Studiolo proceeds to archive the Master's works through the Anselmo Bucci Archive Milan
