Giovanni Sarpellon: "Lino Tagliapietra creates art with glass, and his art could not stem from any medium other than glass. The specifity of his work lies in his ability to amalgamate, as it were, the two courses now being pursued in the fiels of art glass: for he is a "maestro vetraio" who makes art with glass...Tagliapietra's work is perhaps best expressed as a quest for harmony, even when contrasts in light and form interweave in conflicting and complementary plays of colour and volume."   This book, written in Italian, has included translations in English, French, and German.
