Stars of Europe



No, this is not about how many stars are there on the flag of the European Union. It is about a special event that took place on Sunday, 25 March this year in Brussels.

The European Union celebrated the 50th anniversary of signing the Treaty of Rome, but better we should say the Treaties of Rome, because there were two signed on the same day. The Treaty establishing the European Economic Community and the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community. For more info click here (this is why we have the wikipedias, no?!).

Imagine cold spring evening, cloudy sky, 60.000 people from all over Europe, different nations, different languages, different cultures, Atomium in lights, well done organisation, big concert stage, excitement and then... Zucchero shows himself on the stage singing "Baila". Wow, excitement, people go crazy of joy. The joy intensifies with The Scorpions, Helmut Lotti, Kim Wilde, UB40, Gypsy Kings, Lou Bega, Nana Mouskouri and many other European artists.

You were not there? Don`t worry, Open Day of the European institutions is approaching fast (5 May this year) to celebrate the Europe Day (9 May). But that is already another story.
