Vittorio Sgarbi wrote about the Goberti's art: "Is the Goberti's art the element which should arouse new interest in our way of looking at and co-living with what is around us? Is maybe his technical ability? … The dominant aspect of the Goberti's art is the relationship between the Art and what it has been traditionally considered its subject, the Nature.
- ...
- The Art has always its specific language and a human substance even when it would camouflage in the Nature.
- This is the lesson, the revision of our mode of being in the world what Gianfranco Goberti proposes us."
