What is particularly evident in these works is the strong experimental vein which combines the traditional pictorial means with techniques and materials coming from beyond the pictorial: a fresh, joyful cretive imagination, together an eagerness "to do", to look for and continuously discover new possibilities of expression, new means with which communicate at their best one's mood and one's inner world. The well-loved watercolours always present in abstract forms with sinuous boundaries give way to artisan handcraft, modelling wires of copper and lead into metallic arabesques, that sticks, glues and combines objects and images that recur constantly and are displayed in such a masterly way as to form an apparently casual multiformed and multicoloured tapestry.

I had the oportunity to appreciate the work of Letizia Cortini when she visited Berlin once, some years ago. During this visit we exchanged a few very interesting views on her way of working.
What struck me immediately was the freshness What struck me immediately was the freshness with which this painter discovered and transmitted her ideas and sensations. Since then I am still impressed by the simplicity and, simultaneously, the extremely good taste she has in cultivating her "traces of memory".
[...] The level of sublimation that Letizia manages to give to the reality of life, with her threads, her windows, her colours, is truly most beautiful and, as it seems to me, of high artistic value.
