"Born in 1896, Gonzato belongs to the generation that has seen it all. For many, many years now, barbed wire has segregated, tightened, and torn human beings, their flesh, their souls: since the distant First World War. Barbed wire is worthy of being taken as a symbol of our tragic era. In the midst of immense solitude, which suddenly arises within us, the tragic voices instill silence. And they should teach us to be less evil, if it is possible for human beings."
