The Battles of Art, by Achille Bonito Oliva: " The outcome of the battles of Vittoria Chierici is the construction of a style…. Battles take place, in my opinion, along lines similar to these that unwind like distances, like the language of the historical avant – gardes from cubism and Picasso to Vittoria Chierici. And, in an obsessive fashion, they occupy a pictorial space that is intentionally pellicular and bi – dimensional: the reply of a viewpoint, of a visual position, of an effect between cinema and television, of a film frame and the physical distance from an event. " Vittoria Chierici – Battaglie, Skira, Milano 2003, p13.
Art- Bataille by Franco Farinelli: " Foucault called it " the knowledge of the army", and attached great importance to it at the end of his days, pointing out as a field of investigation to return to with urgency and to put into practice." p.19; Battle Architecture. Vittoria Chierici strategist by Beppe Finessi: " Ten years of battles. Of strategies set in form, in light, in colour. Vittoria Chierici, who was born into that world, having been her father and grandfather soldiers on the Russian front, has always breathed discipline, diligence, rigour, courage, determination, plus a touch of sane madness." p.23; Why a battle? by Marco Meneguzzo: "...Vittoria Chierici's obsession for the battle of Anghiari is of multiple interest, one that goes far beyond a personal historiographic doggedness that has marked this longstanding work of hers: why a battle? And why "that" battle? " p.27; The Fight and the screen by Federico Montanari: " The fight of fights: the center of the battle is the maelstrom, or the spiral of the fight, the confusion...Where is Vittoria Chierici's battle" Where is the Missing Leonardo located? We might say that it is a matter of "framing": that is, to construct not only figures but spaces, better yet , screens. " p.32; The Battaglia di Anghiari of Vittoria Chierici by Dario Trento: " In undertaking an integral reconstruction of the Battaglia di Anghiari, has Chierici therefore put herself in the condition of creating a fake? ( or at any rate an unjust operation?...Even so, the current work is not unjust forced for two reasons: because of its impact on the mythic - poetic wake of the Leonardesque work, and because, thanks to her very individual instruments, she manages to highlight structures and otherwise elusive schemes in the Leonardesque fragments." p.37
