Florence, 17 May (LaPresse) – "Today my father would have turned 70. And Florence has chosen to remember him publicly. For me, this means more than any address or street name. I sincerely thank Mayor Sara Funaro, Councillor Caterina Biti, Councillor Giovanni Bettarini and, in particular, Mirco Rufilli, who has shown sensitivity and respect from the very beginning." With these words, Ginevra Nuti, daughter of Francesco, intervened in the ongoing debate on the commemorative plaque that will be unveiled today in Florence for her father's 70th birthday. ‘Francesco,’ added his daughter, "was a man of heart, irony and poetry. He was born into a loving home and grew up between Florence and Prato, but he lived and will continue to live in the hearts of those who followed, loved and listened to him. I know very well how this little confusion arose: my father was born at home, in Via Rinuccini, where my grandmother's family lived at the time, but my grandfather registered his birth at the registry office, indicating the address of Via Sant'Antonino 23, which was the family residence. If there was a mistake, it was made in good faith by my grandfather, as was often the case in those years. Reducing his memory to a controversy over an address risks making us lose sight of the profound meaning of this gesture: today's plaque is just that, a plaque. But it is also a sign, a recognition, an act of collective love'. “My father,” concludes Ginevra Nuti, 'could never be defined by an address. He was an artist who lived in people's souls, who entered homes through the screen, the halls, the music. Thank you, Florence. Today is a beautiful day."
