These figures want to portray the protagonists of the novella 4, day V of 'the Decameron' by Giovanni Boccaccio which tells of the love story between two young people, Riccardo Manardi and Caterina, who is discovered by the father of the girl, and ends with a shotgun wedding. The graphics of Gino Soils (from 1945 he devoted himself to engraving and painting) is concentrated in a few sections of the full-empty, which reveal his particular vein available as a return.The primitiveness of the two volumes, derived only from the shape of the eyes and the mouth slit, is due in fact also to the material reduction based on a difficult but more congenial, such as wood. Remember Modigliani's stylizations and cubist simplifications.
