”Qui in Italia il passato artistico penetra ancora tutta la nostra esistenza perché viviamo nel mezzo delle sue opere d’arte… il mio arcaismo, i miei etruschi… non c'è da spiegare tanto. Il mio io è nato lì, in quella regione, i miei nonni sono quelli. E’ una civiltà che ancora oggi esce dalla terra, qualcosa che alimenta ancora chi vi vive. Io mi sento estremamente legato a questa mia terra, a questo senso popolare, arcaico, appunto, così vivo, così intelligente. L'ho nel sangue, non posso levarmelo di dosso."

Marino Marini “In Italy the artistic past  penetrates in our being as we live surrounded by works of art…my archaism, my Etruscans…there is not much that needs to be explained. I was born here and therefore these are my grandparents. It is a civilization that still emerges from the land, something that nourishes the people who live here. I feel extremely linked to this land, to its popular and, as said, archaic feeling that feels so live and intelligent. I feel it in my blood and I can’t get rid of it”.
