in a complete state of euphoria, and during these six weeks I made twenty small bronzes. I did not do anything else. Before going away a kind of guilty feeling of not having fulfilled my dreams made me decide to come back to Italy the following year again. Since then we have been going every summer to live and to work there. The second year - 1963 - I made five [[strikethrough]] bronzes [[/strikethrough]] small bronzes between larger work I had to do. In 1964 I made only one [[strikethrough]] brn [[/strikethrough]] bronze, inspired by one wax mold of the sword of Duluth, a monument I was doing then. 

The twenty-five bronzes [[strikethrough]] we [[/strikethrough]] are here and I called them "Images of Italy". I made these sculptures directly in wax. Big Sulley and I decided, in order to spread these images a little more, to make from each unique bronze an edition of seven, while retouching the waxes I let myself go; so they are not completely identical. Here they are all except for one which is the first idea for the monument of Duluth, and has nothing to do with the "Images [[strikethrough]] fro [[/strikethrough]] of Italy".
