……”ho conosciuto il grande pittore macedone Borko Lazeski nel 1984,  nella casa di Siqueiros a Città del Messico. Invitati da Angelica Arenal de Siqueiros, c’erano anche il Ceramista Gianni Berra e l’ambasciatore della Jugoslavia…..da allora abbiamo mantenuto sempre un cordiale interscambio epistolare sui temi del Mestiere del Pittore”……Michilini
