“The death of Paolo Carù is a serious loss for all of Gallarate. In addition to the public side, that of the great music expert and editor of the Buscadero, as well as that of the legendary record shopkeeper, in recent months I have also been able to appreciate the human side since relationships with his wife’s health have necessarily become more frequent. ” underlined the mayor Andrea Cassani. “He was very close to his wife Anna and that necessary detachment, for her health – he added – had put him to the test. Now this tragedy leaves us stunned and is a serious loss for the family, for the city and for all music fans.”
