He was a very ironic but also very solitary man. A great music lover and guitar player: the Beatles in particular were his Bible and this was a topic that united us “, says Fazio.

Then when I left Quelli che il calcio” to dedicate myself to talk we said goodbye “, adds Fazio. Which concludes amaro: “His direction was made of great quality, a quality that also passed through the expensive scenes and a considerable number of cameras and I believe that for this too we have seen less and less of him. Because today everything is in the name of cutting, saving and instant consumption “.
