Litfiba: the possible setlist for the Rome show at Ippodromo delle Capannelle

Litfiba land in Rome for one of the most anticipated dates of the tour celebrating the fortieth anniversary of “17 Re“, the second chapter of the historic “Trilogia del potere” (Trilogy of Power), alongside “Desaparecido” and “Litfiba 3”. After the shows of recent weeks, the Florentine band – in their original 1980s line-up, made up of Piero Pelù, Ghigo Renzulli, Antonio Aiazzi and Gianni Maroccolo – will take the stage at Rock in Roma on Thursday 16 July, playing live one of the most representative repertoires in the history of Italian rock.
The concert will take place at the Ippodromo delle Capannelle. Gates open at 6.30pm, with the show set to start at 9pm.

The setlist for the Litfiba concert in Rome

On stage, the Tuscan band offers a selection of songs focused mainly on their successful new wave period from the 1980s, much to the delight of longtime fans. The tour's setlist isn't fixed, but the show will likely mirror the one performed on 11 July in Asti, with a set that runs through “17 Re” in full alongside some of the most celebrated songs from Pelù and co.'s catalogue. Here, then, is the probable setlist for the Litfiba concert in Rome.

The meaning behind the reunion

Forty years after the release of “17 Re“, Litfiba commit to record the reunion of their historic 1980s line-up. After the release of the unreleased “17 Re”, left off the original album at the time and later issued as a maxi-single, and following the reissues of “17 Re” and the live album “12/5/87 (Aprite i Vostri Occhi)”, the Florentine band have now announced a new live album recorded during the ongoing anniversary tour.
“17 Re 1986-2026” will be released on 27 November on CD and double LP, documenting the twenty dates of the tour that kicked off last month in Perugia. Piero Pelù, Ghigo Renzulli, Antonio Aiazzi and Gianni Maroccolo have reunited on stage, the very lineup behind one of the defining albums of 1980s Italian rock. The live album features, for the first time in the band's history, a full performance of “17 Re”, alongside the eponymous title track later released as a single. The album is already available for pre-order.

The idea behind Pelù and his bandmates' project stems from a desire to bring the themes of those works up to date. “17 Re” becomes an explicit reflection on contemporary power dynamics, amid technocracy, global conflicts and democracies under threat. “This isn't a nostalgic exercise,” explains Piero Pelù. “That's exactly what the song born from the ashes of the old track left off the album proves. The melodies remain, along with parts of the lyrics and a fairly intact harmony, but in reality everything has changed: rhythm, beat, groove and spirit.” The idea for the release took shape around the celebrations for the album's fortieth anniversary — released in 1986, the occasion for which the band announced 20 dates with the original lineup (Piero Pelù, Ghigo Renzulli, Antonio Aiazzi, Gianni Maroccolo), something that hadn't happened since 2014.
