"Percorsi del Rock Italiano is a collection of interviews with the best-known groups of the Italian new wave, edited by Giancarlo Riccio, a journalist at the time who collaborated with the monthly "Musica 80" and later with "Frigidaire". This remains one of the few documents (except materials in magazines and fanzines) that appeared at the time on the phenomenon of Italian rock, which affected Bologna and Pordenone in a particular way; a precious document with the first-hand account of a great creative ferment with no more ideological pretensions, of a generation without illusions and aware of the mechanisms of business (rock music is "good merchandise, bad merchandise")."
