作者评论:

扫盲可以避免贫困和死亡。

字母表中的字母（代表每个国家的首字母）表明非洲普遍存在文盲现象，而十字则使这片大陆看起来像一个墓地。营养不良、疾病、部落间争斗以及与邻国的战争造成的死亡归根结底是由于无知。然而色彩的活泼，代表了非洲人与生俱来的快乐和生活的快乐。为了使非洲成为一个“正常”大陆，即发达大陆，富裕国家的大部分人道主义援助必须用于年轻一代的文化发展.

Author's comment: 

Literacy avoids poverty and death.

The letters of the alphabet (each representing the initial of a country's name) describe the excessive widespread illiteracy in Africa, while the crosses make the continent appear like a cemetery. The deaths, caused by malnutrition, diseases, inter-tribal fights and wars against neighbouring countries are due to ignorance. The colours, instead, represent the innate happiness and joy of living of African people. To become a "normal" Continent, therefore, the aid given by developed countries should be invested for the cultural development of the younger generations.

评论:

如果说拉丁美洲呈现出血腥的基调，那么2005年创建的非洲则被一种令人毛骨悚然的痛苦所包围，遍布整个大陆的十字架凸显了这一点，这些十字架纪念了数百万遭受营养不良、战争和疾病之害的人们

作品中使用的色彩绝非令人毛骨悚然，它们为作品提供了色彩缤纷、活泼的基调，反映了非洲人民的欢乐精神。 （萨布丽娜·法尔佐尼博士）

Comment: 

“Latin America” has a bloody tone, while “Africa”, painted in 2005, is enveloped by a macabre restlessness with depictions of crosses all over the continent commemorating the millions who have died from malnutrition, war and disease.  The colors used in the work are anything except macabre and they provide a tone of colorful vivacity to the work that reflects the joyous spirit of the African people.  (Dr. Sabrina Falzone)
