Massimo Cirri And Sara Zambotti tell the heart of the event: «For 25 years we have concluded the radio season with a party. The radio meets its listeners and goes on air, together, from a stage by the sea. With great live music and slightly special episodes. We are a community radio, we tell stories about everyone’s present, lightly but without forgetting the world. This year we feel, like many others, an urgent, enormous need for peace. We are the radio and we would like to give the news: “We are at peace”. We would like to do it first, because the radio comes first. This is how we move forward: we cultivate peace, one step at a time, every day. Peace is a culture.”
Also this year the CaterRaduno offers a unique musical program. It begins with the presence on stage, for the two live episodes of Caterpillar, of great artists such as Selton and Frankie Hi-Nrg mc.
