作品來自藝術家對於「怪物」概念的探究。根據藝術家的說法，怪物是超越和質疑任何先入為主的東西。因此，怪物可說是一個綜合體，一個可以創造及創新的點。Cicciottina #3是Trinacria系列中的一部分，也是西西里的傳統象徵。如果我們將Trinacria放在一個假想的命運輪盤上並轉動其轉軸，其實無法說出到底每次得轉動是輸還是贏。Cicciottina是整個大系列中誕生的一小部分矛盾遊戲，也體現了西西里人的靈魂。確實，西西里島是一個美學及文化有著強烈對比的島嶼，也因此使得它難以辨認。
The artworks come from the study of the artist with respect to the notion of “monster.” According to the artist, the monster is what transcends and questions any preconceived schemes. As a consequence, a monstrosity is the place of synthesis, a meeting site from where creativity and innovation can happen.
That said, Cicciottina #3is part of a series of Trinacria, a traditional Sicilian symbol. If we rotate Trinacriaon its axis and place it on an imaginary wheel of fortune, after each rotation we will not be able to say whether we are winning or losing. The Cicciottina, part of a larger series, is born out of this paradoxical game, that embodies the Sicilian soul. Indeed, Sicilia is a land of aesthetic and cultural contrasts, that makes it highly indecipherable.
