This painting by Alfio Giurato is reminiscent of the Sironi of the urban peripheries, Sironi the poet of solitude of the 1920s-1930s who sang of the drama of contemporary man through the painting of industrial civilisation. The young Sicilian artist takes up the typical cold Novecentista desolation and dark setting, encapsulating the malaise in a human presence that even if evanescent and blurred, is presented with determination in its figurative Classicism, in the pose, thoughtful yet not monumental, in the quantistic reproduction of the bodies arranged as in a parade in the background as if wishing to cite a psychological undertone with a Pirandellian flavour; and it is perhaps precisely in the very famous One, No One and One Hundred Thousand that the interpretative formula that accompanies the painting metaphysically is to be found: Fabbri amarena cherries are presented to fragmentary human nature as a stable point of reference in the ceaseless flow of existence.
