作者评论:
这幅画让我想起了1999年发生在意大利驻波哥大（哥伦比亚）大使馆工作时发生的一件非常有趣的事情。
一位水管工来到我家修理水槽。他带着他的儿子（6-7岁）来了，儿子看到墙上挂满了画，开始一张一张地观察，关注每一幅画，就像一个艺术评论家一样。
最后，我问他哪幅画最吸引他的注意。他指着《启示录》说，这幅画代表了战争造成的彻底破坏。
当我问他如何推断发生了战争时，他回答说这是不言而喻的：战场上有一架直升机，被击落，掉落在地上，被砸成碎片。
Author's comment:
This painting reminds me a very interesting episode that happened in 1999 while I was working at the Italian Embassy in Bogotá (Colombia).
A plumber came to my home to repair a sink. He came with his son (6 - 7 year old) who, seeing the walls covered by paintings, began to observe them one by one, paying attention to each of them, as if he were an art critic.
At the end, I asked him which of the paintings had attracted his attention most. He pointed at the Apocalypse remarking that the painting represented a total destruction due to a war.
When I asked him how he deducted there had been a war, he replied it was self evident: on the field there was a helicopter which, having been shot down, fell on the ground and smashed into pieces.
Having asked him where the helicopter lied, he promptly pointed at it with his little finger.

关于专业知识，Paolo Levi 教授写道：“沟通能力超越视觉界限，为承载普遍信息的和谐创作赋予生命。一种揭示艺术家的创造力和他灵魂的亲密冲动的艺术”。
On expertise Prof. Paolo Levi wrote: “Communicative ability that goes beyond visual boundaries and gives life to harmonious creations that carry universal messages. An art that reveals the creativity of the Artist and the intimate impulses of his soul”.

虽然《启示录》和《大马士革路上的斩首》给人一种狂野激情的印象，但作者的大部分艺术作品却通过一种更加平静和平和的执行手法表现出一种不自然的平静，作为世界和平的前奏。 （萨布丽娜·法尔佐尼博士）
"Though “Apocalypse” and “Decollated on His Way to Damascus” are wildly passionate, most of Marco’s artistic corpus is much more peaceful, almost unnaturally calm with softer techniques, like a prelude to world peace". (Dr. Sabrina Falzone)
