" Cremonini, comme les impressionnistes, veut représenter la vie en mouvement. En quelque sorte, ses personnages fuient, courent, se montrent, s'agitent, comme si surpris et fixés dans des instants d'équilibre miraculeux, ils rejoignaient les personnages d'un Degas ou d'un Bonnard."
(Alberto Moravia, Cremonini)
