After the extraordinary experience of the "Little Kaddish" exhibition, organized by the same bodies at the Provincial Art Gallery of Salerno, which brought together the poetic, translator and painter experience of Jack Hirschman, who enjoyed great success with the public, we thought of this further and dutiful homage to the great American poet.
