Penfilo Gentile's down-beat evaluation was of modern democracies dominated by party machines, incapable of promoting real talent, and programmed to construct, especially in Italy, oligarchic dictatorship masquerading as political pluralism… (His) writing was characterized by Satre as ‘imposter philosophy’ and Herbert Marcuse called him a ‘livid polemicist. ’” (Wikipedia, 2017) In the introduction, Gentile praises Falzoni, writing, “Falzoni is now a successful painter. His success has been fully deserved, as it was obtained merely through the persuasive forcefulness of his art.
