These are white spaces into which the viewer cannot enter and which contain white paintings. Their symmetry gives them the quality of serenity, and they appear to be permeated by etherealized light.

These works are meant to be contemplated that is they open the way to achieving a mataphysical experience and a state of happyness, consistent with Dante’s purpose in the Divine Comedy.

In the context of art history, Savelli's work is both traditional and unique. He belongs to a development which includes Brancusi and Arp, Maleviç and the Constructionists, the neoclassical expressions of the Bauhaus, and the trend in Italy exemplified by Lucio Fontana. The result is a new and inclusive synthesis based on Savelli's independent and creative insights.

During over twenty years in the United States, he has developed a clarity and severity of image form characteristic of the work of, say, Barnett Newman, one based on realism which is a continuing expression in American Art. Savelli's work stands with the best, and it will inevitably come to be seen as the inspired work of a major artist of the twentieth century."
