- Franco Nero,
The characters Gabriele Tinti draws from the Greek myths, the muses, the slaves, enable ‘the actor’ to inhabit the essential struggle of what it is to be human, like a Noh play, doomed to repetition and the transcendence gained from it, to be human under the burning sun, which both gives life and destroys...

I find great joy reading the work of Tinti. He carefully combs the work of ancients revealing our indelible humanity.
- Vincent Piazza,
To be able to put a poetic voice to timeless art is a noble enterprise. I’m proud to have been a part of it.
