This book is the result of a conversation with Philippe Ungar that ran from 2007 to 2009. In this open dialogue, the inner need to discover and acquire art is revealed as an intellectual adventure and a spiritual journey. Giuseppe and Giovanna Panza were pioneers of the art they collected, relying in the last analysis only on their personal demands for quality. Before passing, Giuseppe used to say that this interview was an integral part of the collection, that it was, in a way, its voice. The voice of the art collection to which the Panzas devoted their lives.
