When, in my early twenties, I spent, almost weekly, a morning or an afternoon with him, in his "cave", in the cramped private room of a study for the rest very bright, in Calle Vallaresso, Virgilio Guidi every time, just always, gave me fragments of his very personal relationship with the past century. He had gone through almost everything; above all, he had lived it without any hesitation or fear or upset. Guidi had voraciously devoured the twentieth century without ever becoming hostage to it, without allowing the convulsive short century to swallow it up. From Giano bifronte as he was, indeed from one and three as it was revealed daily, Guidi, consuming the present, took possession of history: he, so deeply linked to classicism, almost aseptically, however, without nostalgia; and so, at the same time immersed, physically, rationally and emotionally, in magma eruptive of contemporaneity, and therefore vitalistically pushed towards the unknown landings of the future.
