Their live shows are greeted with an affection and warmth that is fully expressed by the sold out signs at every stage of the band’s recent tour that has touched the clubs of large cities such as Rome, Milan, Verona, Treviso and Bologna, their hometown.

Their strong presence on social media has also led to interest from a number of television productions, with Paolo and Francesca invited to participate, both as actors and musicians, in the movie about the soccer player’s life Francesco Totti 'Speravo de morì prima’ which, rather intriguingly, translates to ‘I Hoped He Would Die Sooner’, and in 'Lamborghini', released in cinemas in USA and Europe and on Amazon Prime.
