“Timeless. On the contrary, inside time. And beyond. It rains this light rain of words. Significant. Blunt. Stirring, most of all.  /  And then the images, evoked, drawn, painted. Strokes and shadows. Black. Intensity, liberty. And love. Thank you Stefano.”

“Senza tempo, anzi dentro il tempo. E oltre. Piove questa pioggia sottile di parole. Importanti. Contundenti. Emozionanti, soprattutto. /   E poi le immagini, evocate, disegnate, dipinte. Tratti e ombre. Nere. Intensità, libertà. E amore. Grazie Stefano.”

Marco Mathieu, Writer and Journalist / La Repubblica

"This is a “splendid union”.  Poetry as universal value that is born from the heart of an Organisation that, in itself, is global: the United Nations.  [...]  In the words of these poems there is the same hope I cherish when I observe the world in my trips and my meetings.  Stefano has revisited with mastery antique poetic rhythms in a contemporary perspective.  Words that describe universal feelings as love, hate, passion, sorrow in a context of hope that brings us together."

“The most impressive personal magazine I have picked up in the past couple years.

VDF is from Italy and gives you more than one language to choose from. He translates into three different languages: English, French and Italian.

And he writes the whole magazine in his very unique handwriting. Fucking incredible.

In this short span of pages, he includes very intelligible writings on religion, cultural differences, social control, more concepts on the political realm of things and beautiful poetry.

Such a scholarly writer, I would say even the next Thoreauian.

There are articulate drawings and highly resoluted pictures. Pure quality. I guarantee he’s not making his money back on this issue, unless he takes on the Aoki/Phite approach and steal everything.

Mr. Stefano Losi, thank you very much.”

"[...] [The Author’s] work deals with the diametrically opposing forces of emotions in nature and when you read some of his poetry and see some of his art - it is possible that some fragments will call forth your inner spirit to unexpected realization of forgotten emotion. [...]"

"[...] The works of Stefano Losi are indeed a true homage to the woman. Rich of sensuality and sensibility, the lines of the bodies provide colour to the eyes, where the words touch the sensitivity in every person. And the suffering is coloured of red sand and the silence is written on the black and white of a lithograph.

[...] Le opere di Stefano Losi, infatti, sono un vero omaggio alla donna. Ricche di sensualità e sensibilità le linee dei corpi danno colore agli occhi dove le parole toccano il sensibile che è in ognuno di noi. E la sofferenza si colora di sabbia rossa e il silenzio si scrive sul bianco e nero di una litografia."
