Paolo De Bernardin, Musica (La Repubblica) "... It's a network of close and similar languages, all fragrant with mediterranean melodies, with intense moments and more reflective passagges " Flaviano De Luca, Alias(Il Manifesto) "...It's really a beautiful three voices performance....the result faces any musical purism or integralism, mixing songs from the tradition with new and/or far sonorities, well amalgamated with convincing instruments..." Anna Nacci, Tarantula Rubra "...umpteenth vital testimony from that world of "second folk revival" which was able accurately to ferry across ideas for arrangiament from 20 years ago until today." Guido Festinese, Alias(Il Manifesto) "...all the Cd is a complex and complete project really original, exemplary for the quality of recording, for the successful mix of styles, for the invidiable spirit of collaboration between the musicians of the group and the guests" Giovanni Pietro Scazzola, L'Ovadese
