Pavana (Pistoia), Aug. 8 (LaPresse) – As announced in recent days, the funeral of Francesco Guccini, who died on Thursday at the age of 86, was held privately. The service took place in the garden of his family home in Pavana, a hamlet in the province of Pistoia. A few dozen fans gathered outside the gates of his home and applauded as the singer-songwriter’s coffin passed by. “He gave us so much, our lives probably could have been different without his contribution – a fan said -. Fantastic, unique and inimitable. He welcomed us, and it was also wonderful to see him holding our children.” A public memorial service is scheduled to take place in Bologna in September to allow all Guccini fans to pay their final tribute to him.
