Get ready for a wild ride with Articolo Trentino! This isn't just a band; it's a collection of characters straight out of a movie. Pietro “la roccia” Cappelletti, the bassist, is considered one of the top 100 bassists in Mattarello, a former drag queen who found salvation from a life-altering surgery by rejoining the band. He lives on malt and hops, yet somehow seems the most normal. Sergio “nonno” Tessadri, on keyboards, is the 'elder statesman' who played with Chopin before his ragtime phase. He lives in a retirement home for artists, trading adult magazines for unfiltered cigarettes, and often ends up hundreds of miles from the gig, sleeping under bridges and eating McDonald's leftovers before hitchhiking home. Renato “Ghedda” Labalestra, the guitarist, is the group's alternative spirit, found through a truck stop ad. He dresses in recycled clothes, pretending to be an Iraqi refugee, but is actually a former tomato picker from Puglia who came to Trento for fortune and found... them. Max “salamandra” Vit, the new drummer, honed his rhythm by years of hoeing in his uncle's garden and then as a sheet metal worker. An interregional indoor twerking champion, he's not above accompanying older men for a Peroni. Paolo “manolesta” Mairer, another guitarist, is the virtuoso who even sleeps with his guitar, fathering two 'children': Paul and Les. A former member of TheRoldeg Stones, he's been stuck with this 'anomalous family' for twenty years and can't escape. Finally, Roberto “brodegon” Laino, the singer, is to blame for starting it all but refuses responsibility – and can't even sing! He often wakes up in strangers' homes, empties their fridges, uses the bathroom without flushing, and flees, often claiming temporary insanity. His children have even considered changing their last name. This is a band you won't forget!
