With this letter, Mino Maccari agrees to take part in the drawings exhibition in Paris, organized by Countess Pecci Blunt, who had her second house there.

" More rude and harsh than the elegant Longanesi, but more “cultured" (although seemingly the opposite) for more straightforward roots in the Italian soul, Maccari's corrosive talent always hid in a blend of leisure and ferocity, a deep melancholy. Conscious of belonging to a rare race in extinction, he too, like Longanesi, groaned for not sobbing. His smirks, browsing the Selvaggio collection (1924-1943) are a chronicle of Italian and European evils. " With these words, Marcello Staglieno describes Mino Maccari. The caustic personality of his writings is also found in his drawings, with which he portrayed a very controversial age.
