“Nino Frassica is not here, he is in grave mourning” – Libero Quotidiano

He also announced it Fabio Fazio at “Che Tempo Che fa” on Nove, in the last episode the usual curtain call with Nino Frassica did not take place. The comedian from Messina had, despite himself, to pay a visit following the premature death of his brother Matteo, known to all as “Uccio”, at just sixty-eight years old. The official communication took place on Facebook, through a touching post by his son Alberto, the showman’s nephew.

This is the text of the farewell to Uccio: “Matteo, known as Uccio, has always had a connection with Cola. Like Cola, as soon as he looked beyond the walls of his house, he encountered the blue of the sea. A blue of wind and sun, which he knows of ancient wisdom, adventure and salt. And he found it natural to abandon himself to the sea and to its stories that smell of legends, of journeys inside the soul, of silences of breath and storm screams, of oars that sink into the water and of thoughts that descend into the depths of the Strait . Uccio was born in front of a small space of sea, often difficult and harsh, but sometimes of an infinite sweetness that would never make you leave, and he gave his soul to the sea. And it is in his atavistic love for the sea that he united with Cola, going beyond the blood bond and becoming a brother in life.” The organizers of the Frassica theater show, “Nino Frassica & Los Plaggers Band”, which should have been held on Saturday, have canceled the date, moving it to October 12th. Matteo Frassica’s funeral was then held at the Church of Galati Marina.
