« [...] Aloisi manages to give in her pieces a definition of temporal syncopation and multiplicity of observation elements which is particularly successful and uncommon. There is a lot of competence and identification in her compositions, which must be assigned to the best performers. »
« Della pace interrotta is murky, very notable in terms of the overall interventions and the organization of the writing. There are dramaturgical fragments of singing, of unconventional techniques of the instruments and a moody and underlying syncopation of the piece that moves towards a theatricality without rhetoric. »

On the sidelines of the result of the Competition, both received an interesting artistic proposal from the Croatian musician and composer Berislav Šipuš, former Minister of Culture of Zagreb in 2015-16 and authoritative member of the Jury, who will soon invite the violinist to perform in Croatia and will commission a piece to the composer for his ensemble. »

« The product of that ambition can be sampled in Aqua Tofana, a new opera by the young Sardinian composer Gaia Aloisi, which premieres as part of London’s Tête à Tête festival next month. It tells the true story of Giulia Tofana, an alchemist in 17th-century Italy whose poison enabled women to dispatch abusive or inconvenient husbands. It is ripe with olfactory potential for McCartney, who has been tasked with creating the “deadly” potion that gives the opera its name. »
