Rosario has babes and pretty good football. (…) That’s my answer every time I wonder why I live in Rosario. Indeed, on the other hand, is not too curious. One million two hundred thousand people have taken the same determination. The women, gentlemen, is remarkable. More than once I thought, until I suggested that if he had to do an advertising campaign Rosario as a tourist destination in the absence of sea, snow-capped peaks or games of chance (today we have the largest casino latinoamerica! *) Had to to emphasize the women …. The exaltation of women also has its roots in the appeal to defend the city of Rosario rescuing the human landscape. (…) Let’s face it, the backs Paraná (…) is enormous, but not the sea and some we do not even gentle hills, and Córdoba. Then, whenever the talk of Rosario Rosario, mentioned names: Che Guevara, Olmedo, Fito Paez, Baglietto, Gato Barbieri, etc.. etc. etc. There goes the thing.

Should be given also in cities like Rosario, a seasoning of infection. “If you came here Phyto wonder some kid, like mine, who plays bass, and came and went Baglietto Litto Nebbia. Why I can not go I”. Art projects do not sound so, so crazy. Since no one is surprised if a kid in Rosario points to a professional footballer. We all know many children of friends, nephews or friends who has appeared in the lower Nuls, Central or Cessarini Renato Ultimately, Rosario Buenos Aires is like a smaller thankfully smaller and many fewer people. I am, I confess, one of many who yearn Rosario, selfishly, we’re not million … Rosario is a creative city, my friends. For Belgrano something to create the flag, chose.
