Giorgio Morandi

"Never step foot on an airplane. Never driven a car. No phone at home, neither a tv. Concerning travels: often in Florence, on a slow train, to see the same fresco by Giotto, Paolo Uccello; and to Venice, for the Biennale. In all his life he went in a foreging country just once: to Zurich, pushed by friends he thought cosmopolitans, to visit his own show".
