In 1973, when Franco made a meticulous inventory of his work, his archive included something like 13,000 experiments and about 800 paintings – not counting the hundreds of advertising works and the covers for books and magazines [from the Italian-French magazine ‘arte e società‘, 6/7, 1973].
Therefore, this is only a very small selection, limited to what the web can offer today.

“I wanted the eyes of others to be educated to see through the inter-cerebral world of impulses the sensory way suited to modern man. So art enters life as a support to the problems of visual culture, because the man, being no longer filled with notions, can formulate judgments, indicate choices, enjoy different aspects, have a more creative imagination, doubling the value of life in the exaltation of the imaginary.”
