Introducing 'Humans of Frascati' - number one: Sandrone

I am really sad to pass on the bad news that Sandrone died on the 21st July 2015.
Hundreds of people attended his funeral and the Frascati Council is thinking of paying homage by installing a mural painting dedicated to him. We like to remember him like this:

Sandrone. (Pronounced Sand-ro-nay)

Often seen making out he's directing the traffic. Usually smart, in military camouflage outfit or with no shirt on! He's quite frightening to see if you don't know him. But he is actually a great guy, no harm and locals often give him a lift if he thumbs it to and from Squarciarelli in adjacent Grottaferrata.
Everyone in Frascati knows him and he is a bit of an institution. In 2011 a calendar was made with him in different poses. He even inspired a character in a book by Enrico Vanzina.
Photo and video credits go to DVERSO, Enrico Martino and Marcello Bianconcini (the photo was taken from his calendar)! Check out his video below if you like.
