‘Pirovano performs with enthusiasm and high energy, accompanying every line with movements, facial expressions or gestures that sometimes approach the manic style of Robin Williams but that, like his stories, are rendered friendly and unthreatening by his obvious pleasure in sharing with us.’

‘Mario Pirovano transported his audience to medieval Italy, and created an unforgettable encounter with Francis of Assisi.  Pirovano’s evocation of history was impeccable.’
