The creator explained that she was
interested in remembering the young man whose life was taken away by
terrorists covered up for by the US government.
The painting, conceived in an old Venetian technique, was given to
Fabio’s father, Giustino di Celmo.
Giustino expressed his appreciation to the author, who came from
Italy to deliver this beautiful work of fine arts on his son, killed
on September 4, 1997.
He said that this gesture opens his heart and soul and will serve to
strengthen fraternal relations between the two peoples even more.
Victor Hugo Pares, director of the Marcha del Pueblo Combatiente
center, acknowledged the action of this artist, who is also a
faithful defender of the cause of the Five Cuban Heroes incarcerated
in the US for fighting terrorism.
The painting, he said, will swell the funds of the museum; it
reflects great human
sensitivity and it’s a way to call the attention of those who admire
it for its beauty and content.
Giuliana Grando, Secretary of the Vittorio Tomais
Solidarity-with-Cuba Association in Venice, sent her greetings and a
special congratulation to participants in the ceremony, for paying
tribute to a man who is already a symbol of the struggle against
crime and the US impunity.
Magali Llort, the mother of Fernando Gonzalez, one of the five Cuban
Heroes unjustly imprisoned in the United States along with his
brothers in struggle -Antonio Guerrero, Gerardo Hernandez, Rene
Gonzalez and Ramon Labañino-, was among the people invited to the
ceremony.
