The Best of No-TAV is a songbook that includes lyrics, contextual notes and reinterpretations of 15 songs from the No-TAV movement, an Italian grassroots movement that has opposed the construction of the TAV infrastructure in the Susa Valley since the early 2000s.

Conceived as an historical documentation of the struggle, narrated through its own songs, the work also functions on a performative level. The ironic and seductive character of the musical rearrangements easily infiltrates the listeners’ attention, inviting them to sing aloud on their own.

All proceeds from the publication go to the No-TAV movement and the Anti-repression Fund of the Western Alps (Cassa Anti-Repressione delle Alpi occidentali).
