[...]I would like to conclude with the words of one of the fathers of the Renaissance, Leon Battista Alberti, who aptly described as the inner fire of an artist is the Virtus, in the ancient Roman sense that this word had and that it is exalted in the lives of Brunelleschi, Michelangelo, Cellini: the man, the artist was “born to stay doing not to rot lying, ready to bear every effort, every adversity, every attack of fortune, things difficult to achieve, to win the pain, not to fear death, firmness, stability, endurance and strength, and defiance of transient things”. --Gabriele Reina, from an interview
