Meeting with the author Alessandro Tonussi, in conversation with Franco Mazzotta, responsible for the Culture and Entertainment pages of Il Gazzettino for Friuli Venezia Giulia.Alessandro Tonussi

Robert Johnson, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Brian Jones, Amy Winehouse: why did these musical geniuses die at 27?
Coincidence or an invisible plan? A curse? What have we never really been told?
Music made them immortal, but who decided when they should die?
A journey through music, unsolved mysteries, power, and the shadows behind the most disturbing phenomenon in rock history: the 27 Club.
An evening of stories, behind-the-scenes insights, and challenging questions.

Rock doesn't forget. Neither does Club 27.

Festival, always committed to independent culture and creativity, enthusiastically supports this book, which uses music as a powerful alphabet of memory and truth. The novel challenges the dark myths of the 27 Club, revealing the web of power, secrets, and passions that still shake our history, embodying the indomitable spirit of our festival: that of those who never stop seeking, questioning, and living music and life intensely.
