The students, after having seen September 18th, 1860's video, realized a didactic project with their teachers and then asked the band to come visit them in their classroom to talk them about their songs. The band accepted the invitation, and Sergio, Christian and Giusy went to answer the students' questions.

The debate about the importance of music, particularly heavy metal, as a way to propagate culture and education lasted about a hour, thereafter the band improvised an acoustic concert for the enthusiastic students, using the instruments made available by the school.

After the meeting, the band greeted the students with some of their gadgets, and the students returned with their handmade key holders.

After the experience, the band stated: "This event we have been proud to take part to, has been a great example of innovation in the school, and debunked al lot of wrong prejudice on heavy metal.
