Catalogue Note
"Se uno dice "Rosso" e ci sono 50 persone che ascoltano, di sicuro ci saranno 50 rossi nelle loro menti. E uno può stare certo che tutti questi rossi saranno molto diversi."
"If one says "Red" and there are 50 people listening, it can be expected that there will be 50 reds in their minds. And one can be sure that all these reds will be very different."
