In Italy, the bicycle fully belongs to the national artistic heritage, exactly like Leonardo's Mona Lisa, the dome of St. Peter’s, or the Divine Comedy. Coppi is progress, he is the new, he is the engine... Bartali, like Malaparte, is human conservation, the moderate reaction to modernity.

This review harshly criticizes Drastique's 2003 album Pleasureligion as an overambitious and redundant electro-goth record. The addition of new band members did little to improve its theatrical but comical sound. Lyrics try for depth but come off as embarrassing, and the music is confusing with harsh vocals and clashing elements. Only the cover of Sandra's 'Maria Magdalena' is deemed tolerable. Discover why Drastique's Pleasureligion divides opinion—listen now and decide for yourself!
