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 rumored to be one of the top 100 bassists in all of Mattarello. A former drag queen from Caracas, he rejoined the band to avoid a life-altering operation. He lives on malt and hops, yet somehow seems the most normal of the bunch – but don't be fooled. Sergio “nonno” Tessadri, on keyboards, is the group's 'elder statesman.' He once played for Chopin before his ragtime pivot and now resides in a retirement home for artists, trading adult magazines for unfiltered cigarettes. He often gets lost on the way to gigs, sleeps under bridges, and hitchhikes home. For him, every concert could be his last. Renato “Ghedda” Labalestra, the guitarist, is the group's alternative spirit. He joined after posting an ad in a truck stop bathroom on the Salerno-Reggio Calabria highway. He dresses in salvaged clothes, pretending to be an Iraqi refugee, but he's actually a former tomato picker from Tavoliere delle Puglie who came to Trento seeking fortune – and found them instead. Max “salamandra” Vit, the new drummer, is highly sought after. He 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 guitarist for TheRoldeg Stones, he's been stuck with this 'anomalous family' for twenty years and can't seem to quit. Finally, Roberto “brodegon” Laino, the singer, is to blame for starting it all but refuses to take responsibility – and he can't even sing! He often wakes up in strangers' homes, empties their fridges, uses the bathroom without flushing, and then flees. He frequently pleads semi-insanity, and his children have even considered changing their last name. Come see this unforgettable spectacle!
