The founder and CEO of Rockin’1000, Fabio Zaffagnini, is ready to unveil his story with ‘Da Zero a Mille’ (From Zero to Thousand), the autobiography that chronicles his extraordinary journey in creating the world’s largest band. The launch event will take place on Monday, November 25, at 6:00 PM, at the Mondadori Duomo bookstore in Milan, followed by a Rockin’1000 Jam at 8:30 PM at the Hard Rock Cafe Milan. The event will be hosted by Lodovica Comello and Michele Riva. Free entry, reservation required via registration at: https://DaZeroaMille.eventbrite.it

A Journey Between Dreams and Rock’n’Roll
From Zero to Thousand tells the unique journey of a life filled with bold choices, wild adventures, and behind-the-scenes stories. Fabio guides us through a life marked by curiosity and risk, a blend of experiences ranging from expeditions to remote lands, encounters with extraordinary people, and the viral Learn to Fly video to performing concerts around the world with Rockin’1000. Every page provides an up-close look at the milestones of a dream, filled with intense moments, hard-earned successes, and some disappointments.

Beyond the stories and anecdotes, the book also delves into fundamental concepts such as creativity, ambition, and the true meaning of pursuing a dream, which is often difficult and painful. What emerges is a mosaic of experiences revealing the behind-the-scenes of an unprecedented endeavor, blending moments of pure madness with immense passion for music that made this project possible. From Zero to Thousand is ultimately an inspiring source for those who love exploring new horizons, dreaming big, and for all rockers—declared or secret—always on the lookout for new challenges and stimuli.

“Writing this book made me realize how much time and experience it takes to bring an idea to life. In the case of Rockin’1000, it took thirty years of life and choices. I wanted to reflect on the real cost of dreams, removing the idealized aura that often surrounds them,” says the author.

On Monday, November 25 at Mondadori Duomo, Fabio will be in conversation with Lodovica Comello—actress, singer, and TV and radio host who presented the Rockin’1000 show in Cesena—and Michele Riva, CEO of ROI Edizioni, to discuss how From Zero to Thousand was born and to answer questions from the audience. A book signing session will follow. The evening will close with the Rockin’1000 Jam at the Hard Rock Cafe Milan, where musicians will take turns performing, bringing the spirit of Rockin’1000 to the stage in an event of pure collective energy.

Rockin’1000 is working on creating the English edition as well. Stay tuned!
