Giotto Quotes

“I painlessly came to realize that the reverence I felt for the holiness of life is not ever likely to be entirely at home in organized religion. It was later, when I was able to travel farther , that the presence of holiness and mystery seemed, as far as my vision was able to see, to descend into the windows of Chartres, the stone peasant figures of Autun, the tall sheets of gold on the walls of Torcello that reflected the light of the sea; in the frescoes of Piero, of Giotto; in the shell of a church wall in Ireland still standing on a floor of sheep-cropped grass with no ceiling other than he changing sky.”
― Eudora Welty, On Writing

“Rome is the city of echoes, the city of illusions, and the city of yearning.”
― Judith Works, City of Illusions

“Giovanni Boccaccio, autore del Decameron, gli dedica un’intera novella, in cui non solo lo celebra come il più bravo pittore vivente, ma sottolinea la sua alacrità nelle risposte e la vivace intelligenza.”
― Roberta Dalessandro, Giotto
