"Immediately one fact jumps out at you: Barbara's are not just Gabriella Renzi stories, but fairy tales [...] Sometimes, it is like being hit by an overly intrusive ray of sunshine right in the face, pure and honest, stubborn. Impossible to ignore. Others, it is a caress to touch, not necessarily innocent yet delicate."
(Johanna Finocchiaro, writer).
"The writer with lightness (almost feels like flying, as in Chagall's paintings) transports the reader into a nuanced atmosphere, a fairy-tale landscape shrouded in a thin fog, where everything is possible in the realm of feelings and emotions."
(Chiara Rantini, writer)
