The event

The talk «I 5 anni che sconvolsero il Rock (da Live Aid al crollo del muro di Berlino)» (The 5 years that shook rock, from Live Aid to the fall of the Berlin Wall) covers the period from 1985 to 1989. In those five years, the presentation recalls, rock music shows as never before its power, its capacity to mobilize and its ability to get things done and change them.

Among the episodes it recalls is the chorus of musicians singing «We are the world», described as unprecedented.
