“Milvio's hot blooded expressiveness, sometimes sarcastic in its being overbearing, appears sumptuous and almost orgiastic. Even in sculpture, the artist carries on his overflowing and brazen irony. Milvio expresses a total revolution, in his being cultured, a sort of anachronistic and modern visionary. […]
An unbridled and burning passion that feeds a charge of vital and creative energy of extraordinary intensity, without ever getting to disperse his strengths, even if his work is characterised by an uncontrollable generosity of himself.
Milvio seems to revive, with intelligence and sagacity, the myth of the enfant terrible fin de siècle, also and above all through his sharp brushstroke pervaded in a serpentine sign which dictates the measure of a sensual imaginative load of a fantastic halo. A highly cultured reader, a lover of literature and poetry, he seems to include Dino Campana and Sebastiano Vassalli in his list of favourite authors - at least this seems to be the case.
In the complex warp of his brushstrokes there are references or evocations never taken for granted, a Warburgian mnemosyne of ideas condensed into solutions always stunning, never predictable.”(Marco Tagliafierro, Flash Art No. 340, Luglio-Settembre 2018)
