"Purely Armenian culture will be exposed to Italians through the works of Minas Avetisyan. His works are examples of the modern art, in which the artist described the deep of the Armenian soul irrespectively of political pressures," Francesco Gallo said. Saying that the art should be experienced directly, 'physically', not through books or films, Francesco Gallo stressed that the Italian society should be able to see and touch the Armenian art.

He graduated from the Yerevan college of Terlemezian (1947-1952), Yerevan Art-Theatre Institute (1952-1954) and Leningrad Institute of art, sculpture and art architecture of Ilia Repin (1952-1954), where his teacher was Boris Johansson.
