Selected
a composite piece that draws from multiple disciplines/art forms

Yes, in a literal sense citazioni would be quotations but in English that word is only used to mean actual quotations of written or spoken words. In this context saying quotations would be confusing and not clear.
Drawing inspiration from, or drawing from multiple sources , are phrases that essentially explain citazioni as taking ideas from several sources.

| The word that actually causes me the most difficulty is "citazioni".... the sense is that ideas are taken from or references made to various sources... |

: like this too but with a potpourri of sources as we don't really use quotations for works like ballet
