Film synopsis:
“There are 130 music bands in the Bergamo area”. Gianluigi often talks about this, and he
really looks amazed by a musical and social phenomenon that seems to defy passing
time: how strange that, in an age when music is so easily accessible, someone should
spend years learning how to play an instrument just for the pleasure of playing it with a
bunch of fellow dilettanti – the latter word being used in its positive meaning, of course.
This is the starting point of a journey into Gianluigi Trovesi’s music and personal memories
along the many years of his activity both in the Nembro band and in the territory hosting it.
