«The magic wand of Sergio Castradori, which gives light, color and flavor to the stories, is every time a coloritissima idiom. Moreover, the narrative style of the author has developed on the fringes of a lexicographical interest originally, which prompted him to fill out, years ago, a Vocabulary Chiaravallese-Italian. The first stories, drawn from the chest of a lively memory, they were born in order to explain the context and wane in some meaningful situation slang terms or idioms curious; at least at the beginning, therefore, almost outside of conscious literary intentions. But the grace of re-enactment, the natural lightness of the stroke, the elegant familiar style, the human sympathy for the protagonists of different stories, the clever game of recalls of remote places, people and events, which binds in a subtly unified the different narrative segments, and as it is a good-natured smile, which extends a patina of Marche, wisdom, irony of this whole world, have had the upper hand, making each square, without detracting from its testimonial value, a little gem» (Giuseppe Langella).
