The journey into the world of starts from Rome Rino Gaetano. From next February 16th (until April 28th) to Museum of Rome in Trastevere the first major exhibition dedicated to one of the most beloved Italian singer-songwriters will open its doors. Iconic poet with a unique and sharp style, with his rough voice and his apparently light and disengaged lyrics but full of content, he was able to attack society and politics without ever hiding behind labels and masks.

An innovative, passionate author with a strong civil commitment, after his untimely death, his songs were rediscovered and became true anthems among the new generations, used in the theater, as film soundtracks, they became fiction, compilations, street art and festivals. The social denunciation hidden behind the irony of his nursery rhymes is still very current.
