In 1998 the Rototom experiment has to find a new headquarters because it has become too big. Scores of artists, some of whom were already important figures internationally, such as Bill Evans, Michel Petrucciani, Ozric Tantacles or Massive Attack perform in the Rototom of Zoppola (Pordenone, North East Italy). On the other hand the likes of Elisa, Vinicio Capossela or Irene Grandi, are establishing the bases of their respective careers. Alfredo Follia, who was gay then and is now transsexual, remembers that it was here that initiatives were organized in defense of gays, lesbians and their sympathizers.

Talking about this new stage, in addition to the organizers’ testimonies and archive material, we have Paolo Baldini (musician, bass player of Africa Unite) Teho Teardo, Marco Boccitto (editor in chief Il Manifesto), Michele Poletto, Misty in Roots (British music group) and Pier Tosi (DJ and reggae expert).
