He was among the first to have thevision‘ of what then became ‘Modena Park’”.
Alfredo’s fault: the story
Over the years he had explained several times how that song was born: “It was summer and Vasco had already been there for months he was a disc jockey at Snoopy’s. With the heat the venue moved to another outdoor location. Drink after drink the evenings were spent there to pick up girls and thinking about what to do when we left the ballroom. Vasco was lost for a girl who lived near Modena, Daniela. She tried every night and every night she made excuses.”

Then the famous occasion: “Vasco came to us – she said – he was at two thousand with emotion, he wanted to accompany her home. I started talking to him saying that, since he had to get to Misano where he was supposed to play in the evening, it was better if he left in good time to avoid getting stuck in traffic. These were the serious and inappropriate speeches they gave him waste all opportunities. And she – Andrea continued – he went with a certain Santinowho was not black, as Vasco says in the song, but simply very tanned. And she had a nice car, a BMW.” But despite this, she said, “We always remained friends with Vasco.”
