Our home, where we've done so many beautiful things is a pile of ruins Seven we were. The Love that moves the sun and other stars guides us to our end. — Eugenio Gentili Tedeschi, in his caption for a sketch of himself and his friends, including Levi (1943), ending with a quote of Paradiso XXXIII, 145, by Dante Alighieri.
