Historical notes:
An artistic journey started in 1963 and ended with his disappearance.
"Francesco Cenci we could frame him among the artists who continue on the path of surrealist metaphysics or, better, of metaphysical surrealism. But such a classification would be inaccurate because we would risk circumscribing this painter/sculptor within the limits of a precise manner when in him the art is by no means "(A. Cerboncini).
