Pietra Blu (Blue Stone) oil on canvas 60x80, from 1973 to 1974, a picture with a large central blue stone, a clear representation of an intense, difficult, compelling path. It summarizes the life’s journey of everyone, we always strive to overcome a stone which represents the weight of our existence. Eugenio Montale in 1973 wrote "Poetry is not written in a precise moment, it is always there as a stone." Paolo Salvati searched for, found and painted the poetry also in other works.
