Review:
"He was the best in our country. His style was heroic and sublime and he excelled in all enterprises. His canzuni were so praiseworthy that everything beautiful was measured against him." --Vincenzo Di Giovanni
"Congratulations to Gaetano Cipolla on this new great achievement in his literary career. Antonio Veneziano's collect5ion of "Ninety Love Octaves" will, I'm sure, enable all its readers to discover something new about Sicily" --Joseph Tusiani, Journal of Italian Translation, Vol 2.
"The Ninety octaves chosen are all little masterpieces of cleverness both in the original and in the translations." --Antonio Pagano, Arba Sicula XXVII
