Rome, 6 Aug. (LaPresse) – “Once again, as always, you had to beat me to it. I cannot, I must never think of you as being far away, but always here, just as at Le Dame, at the Tenco Festival or at Vito’s – gruff, exuberant, brilliant, my eternal friend: start pouring the wine. Don’t let me catch up with you with an empty glass.” So said Roberto Vecchioni in remembering Francesco Guccini, who passed away today at the age of 86.
