🎸❤️‍🔥 #21April 1959.
Happy Birthday #RobertSmith!

Here's a photo of him in Venice, September 1983.
He came here to film a videoclip for a successful single that came out in 1984 🤔... he was not with #TheCure at the time, anyone knows which song? Anyone can find the video? 🫵

🎼🎥 As my friend from Austria guessed 👍 #RobertSmith came in Venice as a member of #SiouxsieandtheBanshees. They shot a video in the city for this cover of an amazing #Beatles song.
This also proved to be the band's most successful single in 1984!

Funny how the places in this video are all in my #WalkingTour, mostly in #Cannaregio area.

🎸📸 #AlexRuffini from Venice was a Photographer and above all a Rock'n'Roll lover.
He managed to live his dream until the end, becoming one of the most renowned and in demand photographers of the international Rock Stars ❤️‍🔥

Alex sadly passed away in June 2019, but his legacy, Cancer Drugs & Rock'n'Roll, lives on.
A permanent and itinerant exhibition of his uncountable photos and portraits can be visited during Rock Festivals or inside Venues and Charity meetings here in #Italy, often in Venice area too.

Next exhibitions will be at Isola Rock Festival 👉 @isolarock near Verona in May and in the 👉 Rock'n'Roll Experience Cruise leaving from Civitavecchia (Rome) to Barcelona next July.

If you know other places where Ruffini photos are displayed, or if you own one of his photos or knew him personally... you can post here🤘

📜⚽️ Venice Football Team is struggling to avoid relegation from Serie A (Italian major league)... 3 games to go and little hope left, but who knows...

In a few years #VeneziaFC will have a brand new stadium in the Mainland, not far from Venice Marco Polo Airport.
In the meantime they are still playing in the oldest football ground in #Italy! It's such an experience to watch a game there 👍
