Let's start Friday 14 June with “Music is a flash” (Fandango) by the author Stefano Senardiwhich tells how he lived through 50 years of music, first as an enthusiast and then as a leading record producer on the national and international music scene through a thousand stories and anecdotes. Luca De Gennaro – journalist, DJ and speaker of Radio Capital (official radio of the festival) – is the protagonist of the morning of Saturday 15 June with his book “Alternative Generation” (Rizzoli Lizard) which focuses on the period 1991-1995, when underground music conquered the charts around the world and revolutionized the market.
Sunday 16 June we dive into the 60s with the Radio24 journalist Marta Cagnola And Simone Fattori it's theirs “Musicians” (Vololibero), an in-depth story co-written on musical films shot in the years of the economic boom and consumer revolution, based on the most popular songs of the time.
The following week opens with a national preview: Friday 21 June the journalist and radio speaker Valeria Sgarella presents “No Mirrors In The Dressing Room. The Story of Soundgarden” (Tsunami), in bookshops and stores from 28 June. A story through exclusive interviews with the band that lit the fuse of the explosion of the grunge phenomenon.
