"Colei che uccise..." is the title of an ancient Neapolitan song whose score emerges and can be glimpsed below the painting.
The ballad is about a woman, hurt and betrayed by the man she loves, yet still in search of her own redemption.
The image is that of a woman, a modern Madama Butterfly, as strong as the past memories and illusions to which she is inexorably anchored, yet as fragile as the ancient pages on which the image is painted, so much so that she gives in to pain for the 'lost love.
The One Who Killed is the emblem of the countless facets of a woman's character.
Whether victim or executioner, she will continue to follow her heart.
