He enjoyed good food and loved Amarone wine. His main aim in life was to make people smile.

[NO]Fracanapa ble skrevet og spilt inn av Astor Piazzolla i løpet av 1960-årene og er en slags beskrivelse av en karaktertype fra det italienske gatekarnevalet.Tradisjonelt var disse karakterene marionetter med lang frakk, rød vest og en bredbremmet hatt. Han var relativt omfangsrik og hadde en stor nese men var godhjertet, vittig og svært omgjengelig. Han satte pris på god mat og en god amarone vin. Hans hovedmål i livet var å få folk til å le.
