Ambrogio Antonio Alciati | Dama in rosa, 1921 | Museo Borgogna

Il dipinto venne esposto nel 1921 alla mostra della galleria Pesaro di Milano, con il titolo Ritratto di signora, dove ottenne ottimi riscontri di critica: “Quella leggiadra figura di giovane donna, dal taglio del quadro alla grazia e semplicità della posa, dalla serena e un po’ sognosa espressione del volto alla delicata gamma di tinte dell’abbigliamento, è una delizia” (in “Emporium”, novembre 1921, p. 312).

Successivamente la tela fu presentata a Vercelli alla Esposizione artisti vercellesi.

Mostra di oreficeria del 1922 dove venne acquistata dal Museo.

Pablo Neruda | Ode all'autunno

Modest is the autumn, like the woodcutters.

It's costly to cut all the leaves

off all the trees of all places.

In spring they're sewn on in flight

and now you must let them fall

as if they were little yellow birds:

it isn't easy.

You need time.

Jaroslav Seifert | Fragment of a Letter / Frammento di una lettera

All night rain lashed the windows.

I couldn’t go to sleep.

So I switched on the light

and wrote a letter.
