Like it or not, Vasco Rossi is not only a rebellious and maudit singer-songwriter, but also a symbol, an icon for several generations of fans who venerate him like an idol. Vasco’s rise in the musical panorama of the second half of the 20th century is told in The Survivora docu-series in five episodes, built according to the now consolidated mechanism of the genre: interviews, unpublished archives, tight editing that marks the rhythm of the narrative and a narrative arc that develops over the years isolating phases and eras.
Vasco Rossi in a moment of the docuseries dedicated to him.
Vasco opens the doors of memories, from childhood to Zocca (on the hills, a sign of derision from the inhabitants of the plains) at the first musical competitions, from the experience of free radio (PuntoRadio, with unreleased recordings) to huge concerts in stadiums and parks throughout Italy. Several interviewees witnessed an authentic social phenomenon, from Gateano Curreri of Stadio to his friend and manager Floriano Fini.
For those who love reconstructions of national biographies that span the history of the country.
