Weirdos
The years of Sergio Bernardini from Bussola. Memorable, unique years, boom years. The years when the myth of Versilia was born. A myth generated primarily by “the great Sergio,” recalls journalist Sandro Bugialli, who knew him closely, “a genius in his field, a generous, unpredictable, wild madman, always ready to talk and listen, to risk everything to achieve his goal.” The goal: to offer the crowds of young and old who visited his Compass unique entertainment events, unforgettable emotions, evenings that will be remembered for a lifetime.” Today times have changed. Stars perform in megastadiums or large arenas (such as the Circus Maximus). It was show business that sent the emotions of nightclubs like Bussola to the attic. Bernardini, being a good seer, noticed this. For this reason, already at the end of the seventies he opened Bussoladomani, a large tent in Lido di Camaiore. And it worked. Also thanks to the eternal voice of Mina, who held a concert there in 1978, which marked her final farewell to the stage. What years. We hear memorable, unique years again. And it is true. They will never return in these forms. The world is constantly evolving. The biggest concert of all time is no longer Woodstock (where 400,000 to 500,000 young people took part in three days that became four), but Travis Scott’s concert on the gaming platform Fortnite, which can attract about 12 million people connected simultaneously . from your devices (smartphone or TV). And the Metaverse promises us to make our next concerts even more interactive and exciting in the near future. Our emotions will vibrate when we touch our favorite star’s face with our hand. That is why, when remembering Sergio Bernardini, it is better to understand his dreamy rather than nostalgic nature. Today it will be projected into the future, reinforced by the enormous baggage of the past. Without nostalgia, but still capable of surprising.
