Comment
The man in full force of his strength carries the old man to safety and guides the steps of the young man. Behind them he roars the flame that seems to almost lick them. The three figures, with a distant Virgilian echo, thus become a symbol of solidarity which is the duty of the most valid towards all the weak and helpless.San Marino's 1973 Mint Set
