other · 2026-04-26

A documentary film titled 'Fabi, Silvestri, Gazzè – Un passo alla volta' chronicles the collective concert held by Italian singer-songwriters Niccolò Fabi, Daniele Silvestri, and Max Gazzè at the Circo Massimo in Rome during summer 2024. The film, directed by Margherita Bordino, will be released as a special cinema event by Fandango on April 7, 8, and 9, 2025, with a preview at the Bif&st festival. The documentary combines archival footage, studio interviews, and theatrical staging to explore the three artists' 30-year friendship and musical collaboration. Fabi describes their relationship as a 'parallel journey of thirty years' marked by natural complementarity. Silvestri recalls the concert as 'special, different, unrepeatable' with a familiar atmosphere despite the large crowd. Gazzè reflects on the current music scene, noting a growing desire for authenticity amid 'posticcia' (fake) music, while Fabi observes a lack of 'dream' in contemporary songwriting, which he finds too photographic and social-media-like.
