The paper attempts to present two phenomenological projects in which "event" is explicitly thematised as a central phenomenological problem: phenomenology of H. Maldiney and C.
Romano. The guideline is the relation between events and the power of the existence: events are considered to be new configurations of our world.
The second part is more critical: it tries to generally determine the way in which the event should be investigated in a systematic phenomenological analysis and then to think about the "real" or "empirical" power of the existence (the problem which is not reflected by Maldiney and Romano).
