"Untitled (Il treno - Telegrammi)" 1976 Work consisting of telegrams and various documents: - 5 postal cards, cm approx. 18,5x28,5 each - Telegram, cm 32,7x24,5 - Railway timetable, cm 41,5x12,5 - Telegram receipt, cm 14x20 In April 1976, Calzolari sent a four-hundred-word telegram to Marco Bagnoli and Jannis Kounellis. Subsequently, fifteen other people received six telegrams, at a rate of one per day. A final telegram was sent exclusively to the two artists, inviting them to board, on 5 May, the reserved - and therefore empty - carriage of train no. 2701, departing from Milan, stopping in Florence (at 3:29 pm) and Rome (at 7:09 pm), and with its final destination in Nocera Inferiore. Of the two artists, only Kounellis accepted the invitation. Some time later, the fifteen recipients received by post a copy of the telegrams they had already received, the texts of the other two telegrams and a railway timetable for the Milan-Nocera Inferiore route. Another two hundred people received copies of the telegrams and the railway timetable. Galleria Toselli, in addition to acting as sender of the correspondence together with Calzolari, simultaneously organized an exhibition featuring copies of all the materials that had been sent.

Successivamente altre quindici persone ricevettero sei telegrammi, al ritmo di uno al giorno. Un ultimo telegramma fu inviato solo ai due artisti, invitandoli a salire, il 5 maggio, sulla carrozza prenotata - e pertanto vuota - del treno n. 2701, in partenza da Milano, con fermate a Firenze (alle 15.29) e a Roma (alle 19.09), e destinazione finale Nocera Inferiore. Dei due artisti, soltanto Kounellis rispose all'invito. Qualche tempo dopo, le quindici persone ricevettero per posta una copia dei telegrammi già ricevuti, il testo degli altri due telegrammi e un orario ferroviario relativo alla tratta Milano-Nocera Inferiore. Altre duecento persone ricevettero copie dei telegrammi e dell'orario ferroviario. La Galleria Toselli, oltre ad essere il mittente insieme a Calzolari delle missive, organizza, contemporaneamente, una mostra in cui sono allestite le copie di tutti i materiali inviati.
