So Luporini described the encounter with Gaber:
"It was a very casual thing, in the sense that we lived near Milan. We were on the same bar. They presented me by saying that he was the singer, I was the painter. So I went to see his performances and he came to see my paintings. We became friends. I remember finding a kid who was nineteen, thin like a nail, and I went to listen to him. He played the rock in English, I did not understand anything, but I was bewildered by the energy he was wearing. We have become very friends, then we have often visited. At some point, attending our study (I had a studio with other painters friends), we spent the days talking. One day he said to me, "But why do not we try to write something together?" And so we started the first attempts that remained in the drawer, Because they were a bit extravagant and not so commercial. He then still performed through normal channels, television to understand. So at the beginning it was just a game, just a game. This is the first impact. [4]
Masaccio, born Tommaso di Ser Giovanni di Simone, was a Florentine artist who is regarded as the first great Italian painter of the Quattrocento period of the Italian Renaissance. According to Vasari, Masaccio was the best painter of his generation because of his skill at imitating nature, recreating lifelike figures and movements as well as a convincing sense of three-dimensionality. He employed nudes and foreshortenings in his figures. This had seldom been done before him.
