The Italian television series My Generation, airing on Sky Arte, dedicates its March 5 episode to the rock band Timoria. The documentary-style program contextualizes the band's history within the 1990s Italian independent music scene, featuring commentary from musicians and industry figures including Giulia Cavaliere, Luca Fantacone, Violante Placido, Claudio Santamaria, and Stefano Senardi. Timoria formed in the late 1980s, releasing their debut mini-LP Macchine e dollari in 1988, and disbanded in 2003. The band achieved three gold records for the albums Viaggio senza vento (1993), 2020 SpeedBall (1995), and El Topo Grand Hotel (2001), and participated twice in the Sanremo Music Festival (1991 and 2002). Notable former members include Francesco Renga and Omar Pedrini, who later pursued solo careers. The series is produced by Sky Arte, whose digital platform is powered by Artribune.
