The snowflakes are unique?
Dave Grohlof (and, until 1994, Nirvana) would have bought a home in Castro. Yes, that Dave Grohl. The multi-instrumentalist Dave Grohl, the rhythmic soul of the legendary rock band Nirvana. Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters guitar and vocals, Dave founded the group that just the death of Kurt Cobain.
The triangle is now firmly mapping between Castro and Spongano Tiggiano is increasingly the peaceful retreat of international celebrities and blameless. Like Helen Mirren and husband Taylor Hackford, who restored the farmhouse "Matine" the manor of Tiggiano, a residence belonging to the first principles to the barons and then Gallon Sauli.
Yet, with this flow, it seems that the area you are enriching presence of a fairly unusual for the rhythms of life and bathing in this portion of the Adriatic, the sea green and contemplative. Nearly a Dantesque retaliation for a life, like that of Grohl, up to date spent in a manner very different British and relaxed. For more incazzoso Dave Grohl, the doors of one of the quiet places of Salento (collapses of buildings carved into the tuff part).
Only last week, when the iTunes Music Festival in London just Dave Grohl has performed in a nervous curtain. Which ended with the temporary interruption of the concert, which is necessary to insult and to throw out a fan, the singer felt restless (by which stage is the sermon). At the same time, however, Grohl is also one of the few musicians alive whose hometown - Warren, Ohio, USA - has dedicated a street.
The hope is that the American musician is able to effectively contestualizzarsi in the life of Salento, if you really decide to nighter of the year. Or at least, to contain his anger against the public WiFi in the case, as unfortunately happens quite regularly (and as also happened just yesterday, just minutes away from our part as we had just praised) the line should fall .
