 Auto da Fé was a tough and original album, well-played and that perfectly positioned them in a unique niche for energy and authorial intensity.

 Castello di Carte is a painful and authorial piece, a hymn against bourgeois conformism which inflamed many small local radios.

Garage 29's 1995 mini-album Auto da Fé is a unique blend of 80s synthwave, grunge, and poetic existentialism marking a pivotal moment in Italian rock.

 This movie sucks.

 It aims to denounce the 'dark times' characteristic of the Soviet regime but, in the end, it is just a pretext to display a useless and repugnant repertoire of perversions and 'gore' scenes.

The Green Elephant depicts two soldiers imprisoned under unknown reasons in Communist Russia. The film explores brutality, mental collapse, and graphic violence but is criticized for poor production and excessive gore.

 THE Portuguese band of the 20th century.

 Unfortunately, in my opinion, it ends poorly with 'Longe (Perdido na multidão)', permeated by glam-pop style of Adam Lambert and supported by mediocre lyrics.

 Luigi Magni was a great Italian director, probably underrated or, at least, he was not fully attributed the merits he deserved.

 The film’s message invites not to bend in front of power, always to tend towards Freedom which... a man is not like a dog, he must not have masters.

Luigi Magni’s 1973 film La Tosca is a richly detailed historical drama set in Rome during 1800. Inspired by Victorien Sardou’s 1887 play, it features exceptional performances by actors like Aldo Fabrizi and Monica Vitti. The film is praised for its historical precision, social and political commentary, and memorable music. Despite its quality and meaningful message about rebellion and freedom, the film was unfairly overlooked. It remains a masterpiece worth discovering. Watch Luigi Magni’s La Tosca to experience a powerful tale of love, history, and rebellion in papal Rome.
