A telegram from Giorgio De Chirico to Enzina:

Written by Enzina:

“In the summer of 1976, I lived in Leivi near Genova and had a solo art exhibition. I had sent the invitation out of respect to Maestro De Chirico who was living and working in Roma, Piazza di Spagnia.

The message in his telegram says: “I wish you a great success because you are a true artist.” It was afterwords authenticated by Professor Giorgio Migone a very highly regarded Historian of Art and Director of the Italian Federation of Art Critics.

It is a very important document not just because it's from Maestro De Chirico to endorse my art, but for me it is moving and important to be able to treasure it through all these years of my life, as a reminder of those incredible and unique times of me has a younger woman and artist in Italy. I worked with Maestro in his studio, I was very loved and respected by all in the De Chirico family. I have created so much whilst I was living there for 3 years, all the friends of the De Chirico were so appreciative of my art work.

At night time I was always in the amazing living room with so many paintings of Maestro hanging on the wall... I was there with Vincenzina (personal secretary of Giorgio and Isabella De Chirico) and a few guests, maybe the bodyguard at times, and we would stay up late to look at the paintings and tell stories… those moments were Eternal.”
