- Paradiso: "[L]'opera di Paolo Bocci intitolata 'Il passaggio del testimone' in cui un giovane, con il capo cinto da foglie di alloro, iconografia da sempre rappresentativa del poeta Dante Alighieri, esulta in un acrobatico salto sorreggendo una penna in una mano, circondato da lettere e da fogli di carta" (The work of Paolo Bocci titled The Passing of the Baton in which a young man, with his head encircled by laurel leaves, iconography that has always been representative of the poet Dante Alighieri, rejoices in an acrobatic jump while holding a pen in one hand, surrounded by letters and sheets of paper).
