Papaldo, its director, said in an interview "the proposal for hosting the exhibition in spite of ignoring the work of Francisco Toledo, to regain the initiative Pietrucci Alfredo (1888-1969) to be open to artists from countries outside Europe.

Hence, my objective in the presentation of the exhibition was to provide scientific information
accurate based on documents that immediately eliminates countless legends about him have been created with the intention to avoid fueling stereotypes that foreigners love as their paradigms .
