Genoa – “I was hoping nobody would find out about it”. But the news spread quickly: Saturday, just before the final of the Paganini prize that would have crowned him the winner twenty-four hours later, the violinist from Salerno Giuseppe Gibboni thwarted a robbery in Piazza De Ferrari.
He was sitting at the coffee table in Piazza De Ferrari. “I saw a young man looking at a lady’s bag, at one point he tore it off and me instinctively I ran after him“. An act that prompted the thief, after a few meters, to throw away the stolen goods and disappear.
Regardless, soon after Gibboni went to perform for the first of the two evenings that saw him triumph.
