Nessi's ... strength as a poet rests with his own distinctive and daring language - a spirit level that enables him always to align himself with the subject of his verse. And, if his work is the product of a rational and realistic pessimism - occasionally softened by irony, it is also true that Nessi's emotional and ethical empathy deepens his analysis and heightens his response. - Marco Sonzogni
