Among the numerous works she will be remembered above all for her Moons, her symbol. For Paola Romano the Moon represents every human activity, both abstract and concrete. The Moon is in fact that satellite that needs a planet to orbit around, that planet is the human being. Paola Romano's work will remain an indelible trace of her passage in this dimension, she has always believed in the cultural and communicative power of art, in its possibility to be a universal message.
