364 - TO THE PRESIDENT OF CHILE / SALVADOR ALLENDE / DON’T BELIEVE THEM. The same mask / covered their faces. / Loyalty on their lips / but a bullet in their hands. / The same people, in short, / in Chile as in Spain. / It’s over now. But death, / death ends nothing. / Look! They’ve killed a man; / the hand that kills is blind. / He fell yesterday. But his blood / rises up today. / Rafael Alberti / Rome, September 13, 1973. Published by the Italy-Chile Association “Salvador Allende.” Silkscreen print, 100x70 cm. Fratelli Spada SpA Printing and Publishing Plant – Ciampino-Rome.
