"Two great mysteries have to face the human being in his short life: the body and time. The body in time and time in the body. The body goes through time changing continuously and time continually leaves its irrefutable marks on the body. The body is, therefore, always a terribly exact map of the signs that time has engraved on it.

All of Luca's work seems to take place and develop within this incessant dialectic of body and time. Looking closely at his work, even within different cycles of works, this seems absolutely clear: the theme is always, obsessively, the body-time relationship through the signs that this relationship necessarily leaves behind."
