The posterity that will walk at the Silvano Signori park in via Leoncavallo they will be able to rest under its shade, look at its leaves, touch its bark because tree number 69 is called Simone.
A nice name for what will become a handsome hunk.
It was the April 14, 2004 when Simone greeted us.
A day that upset the lives of many, everyone, especially that of his family, an incident so banal that it overwhelmed the entire city, so great was the affection his friends had for him.
His ally Valerio Bartolini decided 11 years ago to create the Facebook group “Not to forget Simone” where over the years many people have left and continue to do so, a thought, a photo, an indelible memory.
Simone was a hairdresser in his father Danilo’s salon in Grosseto in via Ximenes where he started at 16 and fell in love with that job.
A job that made him become a protagonist on the national scene by combing and styling the numerous celebrities he met during various national and international events: Mia Martini, Fiorella Mannoia, Fiorello, Riccardo Fogli, Laura Pausini, Elio and the Tese Storiesand many others.
