Un amaro sorriso

The exhibition shows original pictures from the book Negazione – Collezione di attimi as well as flyers
and posters from the years 1983 to 1992. During this period the Italian band
Negazione grew into one of the most influential Italian hardcore bands.
Negazione belonged with bands like Declino, Raw Power and Cheetah Chrome Motherfuckers
to the first generation of Italian hardcore bands. Influenced by US hardcore
these Italian bands were the first European punk bands playing outside of Italy, who played their music faster and more extreme, were more radical and political in their lyrics and attitudes, and also differed from the traditional punks. Although Negazione’s lyrics were often personal in nature, the band understood itself to be especially in the early years, as a political band.
