Raccontatelo to someone else who is the twenty-seventh of July. We who have come tonight to hear Spoleto Baustelle to know that is not true. To rain no rain, although it made for a good chunk of the afternoon, but there is an air of cold that bites you face, and the wind gets up every now and then it gets deep in the bones. With this cold weather the concert takes place in a surreal atmosphere, the people suffer and suffer well as the musicians on stage, even if the beautiful Rachel Bastreghi, in his striped sheath dress that leaves very Sixties discovered many square inches of skin, is flawless.

Brasini, on the other hand, more or less made his, and the harmony of the ensemble expanded occurs only intermittently.
But the people, however much and however enthusiastic, if there is too much, sing the songs by heart and crying out the old ones, and finally, "because we always ask the right away and we like to be a some 'bad', is contented with a rubber powerful, classic catch the onset of youth Subsidiary shown in 2000 that after less than two hours worthily closes the concert.
