Mammamia

Loved, hated, envied, imitated... This is Mneskin. And more. From the Roman neighborhood of Monteverde to the historic rock clubs of New York and Los Angeles, Damiano, Vic, Thomas, and Ethan have made their way, expressing themselves through their music. This book traces the history of their iconic friendship and the steps of their career that led them, as they begin their twenties, to collaborate with old glories like Iggy Pop and the Rolling Stones as well as being universally recognized as one of the sources of the rebirth of rock and roll.

Very few - perhaps zero - are the missteps that Mneskin have made in their career. From busking in order to establish a routine and earn some money, to the possibility of realizing their own scenographic ideas at X-Factor. From the unprecedented support of the Sanremo Festival for a rock band to the victory at Eurovision with a song that is certainly not very standard. From the support of Carlo Verdone to the posts of Drew Barrymore and Miley Cyrus. From Manuel Agnelli to duets with Iggy Pop and the opening act for the Rolling Stones. From Rome to the World and back.

Mneskin's career seems like a dream, the wish of many: to be a rock star once you grow up. At the age of twenty, Damiano, Vic, Thomas and Ethan already have an extraordinary, almost incredible journey behind them, which is worth telling. This book traces the story of their iconic friendship and the steps in their history that led them to be universally recognized as one of the sources of rock and roll's rebirth.
