Ettore Russo, Galleria La Barcaccia, Rome
'"Today, ideas on art and taste evolve rapidly.... Franco Aguggiaros, among the artists of our century's second half, represents fidelity to [his] individual personality... Aguggiaro has succeeded in saving a piece of local tradition, keeping intact the Italian tradition of painting, without dwelling upon the past.

Together with Vespignani, Tommasi-Ferroni, Attardi and Villoresi, he entered the second Roman School [of painting]. [Aguggiaro] has to be considered as a particularly 'modern' painter, bound to the sensitivity of our century, as well as to our strong traditions."

Marina Vaizey, "Art Revue", London
"Franco Aguggiaro depicts with bold outlines the gnarled and striking faces of ordinary people painted with fidelity to an inner truth that is deeply moving."

Berenice, "Il Paese Sera", Rome

Human instpiration is the very basis of Aguggiaro's art.. He created a universe on canvas peopled by a particular class of humantiy. They are the poor and the disinherited who do not struggle or protest. They accet their fate, knowing they cannot change it.

Love, irony, clear voices of a humble people, and a powerful beauty derived from the trials of a hard life, are clearly visible in the facial expressions of the people from Trastevere, depicted by Aguggiaro. He has tried to immortalize fleeting faces and images in the same way Franz Pesler attempted one hundred years ago. In his paintings, it is evident Agugguiaro has grasped the sinificance of the contemporary Tratvere life and the importance of the beauty of the human condition, the most difficult to depict."

Peggy Austen, "Aging With Style", Miami
From quiet landscapes and cityscapes to quaint harbors and colorful villages, Franco captures the realism of his subjects. His still life reflects the diversity of his interests, from intricate patterns of wicker and straw to the soft, supple folds of linenes amid simple and majestic objects. Realism is the goal, but is not the whole."
