Putting a hat on his head was a titanic feat. Everything started off with a late afternoon dream, I still remember every single detail. I've shared my dreamlike vision with the "protagonist". He was seduced and pleased by the story I was telling him and his enthusiasm gave me the right push to create a new "oeuvre". Felt, guitar strings and a great passion gave life to a hat that still triggers in me feelings that are well described by Catullo's famous words "odi et amo".
