WE ARE THE THOUSAND
by Anita Rivaroli

1000 musicians from all over Italy meet in Cesena to play "Learn to Fly" by the Foo Fighters with the aim of convincing Dave Grohl to give a concert in the city. The video of the event reaches over 45 million views on YouTube, and the Rockin'1000 make their dream come true: the Foo Fighters decide to come and play in Cesena! In reality this is only the beginning of the adventure of the 1000, which are to all intents and purposes the biggest rock band in the world and which continue to perform in increasingly numerous formations.
WE ARE THE THOUSAND tells a unique and unrepeatable story, which has changed the lives of many people. Forever.
