"Ora mi si contenta di precisare cosa e' per me la cultura... E un po' di tutto: dal cantastorie al cantate lirico, dal pittore allo scultore, dal romanziere al poeta, dal cartonista al filosofo; e si collega al costume locale come all'alta moda, ci ricorda i cori regionali e il coro della Scala di Milano... ci lega sempre con nostalgia alla borgata, al paese, alla citta', della nostra bella Italia."
Giuseppe Cusimano
Corriere Canadese, January 6, 2001
