Why this event is not to be missed
Since 2005 MI AMI, the «Festival della Musica Bella e dei Baci», has been a historic showcase for Italian independent music. For its twentieth birthday the bill mixes different generations: the rock of Ministri, the Neapolitan groove of Nu Genea, the songwriting of Motta, the rap of Mecna and Dutch Nazari and the new scene of La Niña and Tutti Fenomeni. The Sunday-morning closing set with Cosmo is the most intriguing new feature of this edition.
