SERGINO MEMORIES
Ten years after his death, the void left by Sergio Piazzoli still echoes. A young man from Perugia, with his resourcefulness and boundless love for music, he raised the artistic level of our little Umbria to the highest levels: often ahead of his time, he was the first to bring R.E.M. to Italy, prophetic in launching Vinicio Capossela (a sort of brother), stubborn enough to convince his idol Robert Wyatt to travel to Umbertide or to bring De André back on stage, who was also won over by the enthusiasm of this atypical organiser.
The new visual identity draws inspiration from the typography of 1980s and 1990s posters, reinterpreted in a contemporary style. The result is a dynamic identity that reflects the eclectic and visionary spirit of those years, enriched with vibrant and intense colors.
The Committee was established ten years after Sergio Piazzoli’s untimely passing, with the approval and support of his heirs.
To promote the Committee’s activities and strengthen institutional relations, the Mayor of Perugia has been appointed as the Honorary President of the Committee. The project includes the creation of a book, a dedicated exhibition, and an interactive website where users can actively participate by sharing memories and photographs related to Sergio Piazzoli.
