In the Introduction to In Italy, Belgian author, poet and philosopher Véronique Bergen writes:
Sophistication and simplicity, naughty elegance and erotic thirst are woven together in a scenography devoted to the contrasts and echoes between skin, clothes and stone or water … The journey of the senses to which Renée Jacobs invites us makes us plunge into the spray of dreamlike poetry, pulsed by an erotic fire.
