homage to Father Johnny: 

a poem titled Fung On was written by Father

Johnny in Hong Kong circa 1992.

These paintings chosen were inspired by Father

Johnny's poems which I did during my Florentine days ( 1983-2001).

Poems included:

The violet and the Beetle,

 Beyond the mountains

The translation of the famous poem by Tao Chien (365-427 AD) from Chinese into Italian  by Father Johnny

( here retitled as  La Parola diventa Silenzio )
