    "Oriana is a rare mix of a gifted photographer, a history buff, a polyglot, an art enthusiast and most importantly a loyal friend. She takes you with her on her many travels, providing you both with glimpses of everyday life at its most interesting along with sweeping landscapes, explosive sunsets, and my personal favorite, the gorgeous sculptures that she has breathed new life into.
    Oriana is a rare gem because she is also one of the most dedicated people in flickrland, both to the enormous amount of groups she runs as well as to her contacts.
    It's an honor and a privilege to call you a friend and contact. Please keep in touch and keep up the amazing work! Bacioni, mia cara amica. Anche se abiti molto lontano, sei vicino a me, Sherri"

    "Oriana is one fantastic photographer and artist. She makes me spend all this time at her photo site as there are so many choices to look at and not a whole lot of time. Her views on nature venture to the sublime and to natural comedy and the absurd. Her artistic eye gives her ideas to experiment with and she runs with great ideas. I am a learner and I learn a lot from Oriana. Oriana, you have just met one of your biggest fans."

    "Oriana non è una fotografa.... è una poetessa che scrive poesie fatte di luce e colori
    Oriana non fa fotografie.... riporta dei momenti, se fai attenzione puoi sentire suoni, odori, puoi sentire il caldo e il freddo
    Oriana non è solo un nome, non è una "persona".... Oriana è una sentimento, lo si vede per come scatta, per i sentimenti che sa mettere in gioco con una fotografia
    Oriana è tutto questo e quello che sa fare con un semplice "click" è qualcosa di innaturale!"

    "Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
    In a world of magnets and miracles
    Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
    The ringing of the division bell had begun

    Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
    Do they still meet there by the Cut

    There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
    Running before time took our dreams away
    Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
    To a life consumed by slow decay

    The grass was greener
    The light was brighter
    With friends surrounded
    The nights of wonder

    Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
    To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
    Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
    Dragged by the force of some inner tide

    At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
    We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

    Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
    There's a hunger still unsatisfied
    Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
    Though down this road we've been so many times

    The grass was greener
    The light was brighter
    The taste was sweeter
    The nights of wonder
    With friends surrounded
    The dawn mist glowing
    The water flowing
    The endless river

    Forever and ever

    Oriana è una persona semplice e intelligente, con le sue foto riesce ad emozionarti anche qnd la tua vita sembra un pò piatta. Vive di felicità e di allegria, molto determinata. Con il suo occhio sa cogliere momenti di vita e raccontarli con le sue foto, i paesaggi sembrano seguire un cammino costruito nel tempo. A volte si rimane ad ammirare una sua foto (x me soprattutto i paesaggi) x cercare di capirne l'essenza nella sua perfezione. Grazie ori."
