“I'm Italian, and with the exception of the Rome date, I've seen NIN on every place they've played in my country. I saw them for the first time in Milan in 1999 for the first leg of the Fragile tour, and the last time in Milan was in 2025. I had the chance to attend the aftershow, also in Milan, at the Alcatraz in 2007. The whole bans was there except Reznor, from Freeze and Twiggy Ramirez. Cortini is a friend of some people I know because he lived a few kilometers from where I live. I didn't take any photos or autographs of that evening because I was naive; I was looking for Trent and didn't realize how lucky I was, even just having the other musicians there. I've been listening to NIN since 1994 and have a small tattoo of their logo. I have a guitar pick that Cortini gave me.”

“It was my first show and I went from the north of Scotland to Milan to see it with my friends. I knew it was going to be epic but I was literally left speechless. The thing that surprised me the most is that at the end of the concert, there was no encore, no 'last song' after the 'fake goodbye'. It was it. It was completed. And everybody just left. Trent basically told us to fuck off with the raw power of his music. He made us sing and dance and cry and think. He made us let it go all out. I’ve never felt so whole in my entire life. I left the park and went home. Now I can’t wait for them to come back to Europe.”

“Milan was my first Nine Inch Nails show. When Trent starter singing 'The good soldier' I totally lost my mind. I was going through change my life and so it goes. Than 'The Lovers' definitely change the game. I was dreaming of something I could never had but Now that’s mine and something happen that night. I don’t know how but I’ll remember that for the rest of my life.”

“Nine Inch Nails is one of my favourite bands, and their music truly resonates with me. I have been listening to them since I was sixteen. When Trent arrived on stage, I was so excited. I loved how the setlist wasn't predictable, and while waiting to enter the venue I was hoping they would do 'the big come down', but I didn't think they would: that's my favourite track on the Fragile and in the end they played it. After they played Hurt, I cried. Like, a lot. I didn't buy any merch or catch any pick, but I carry something that has no price within me. It still is the best show I have ever witnessed in my life, and I saw a lot of them.”

"I've been listening to NIN for 10+ years, since my first year of high school, and they're the only artist I always keep coming back for. NIN helped me countless times to get through loneliness, depression, and hardships that made daily life seem too difficult sometimes, and their music holds a very special place in my heart. Hearing NIN live last year was a dream come true, as I couldn't really manage to travel abroad for a concert and Italy hadn't been on their tour stops for a while. Hearing Closer live was surreal and I couldn't believe the energy of the entire concert even after all these years of activity. NIN's music touches me in a way that I can't fully explain with words, but that no other artist ever has managed to come close to. I love drawing and painting and they've been a major source of inspiration to create my own kind of art too, which I'm sure would not be what it is today without them. I'm so grateful I had the chance to see them in person, I don't know if there will ever be another opportunity, but I will cherish the memories of this concert forever. Thank you NIN!"

"I traveled from Tuscany, where I live, to Milan. It had been years since I'd made such a long trip for a concert. At 46, I no longer felt like it, but when I heard Nine Inch Nails were on tour, I realized I needed to see them. I've loved Nine Inch Nails since 1999. I discovered them when they played the CD The Downward Spiral in a record store I went into. The song that struck me was 'Ruiner.' My favorite song played at the concert was 'Somewhat Damaged.'"
