Francesco Facchinetti stopped at the airport of Managua (capital of Nicaragua) because mistaken for a drug trafficker from Bergamo: it happened in 2006 at the time of the management of the Isola dei Famosi next to Simona Ventura, broadcast on Rai Due. To tell it on social media was the singer and producer, who – in isolation because he was positive at Covid – retraces and tells fans unedited episodes in his life. The episode in Managua when he was there waiting to move to a small island to record the reality show. Some plainclothes policemen began to investigate his origin and, when they realized he was coming from Italy, they stopped him and accompanied him to a room for checks: “One of the greatest European drug traffickers is from Bergamo,” the agents tell him. Facchinetti then tried to explain that he was, in addition to a presenter, also a singer and said he had also recorded a song with Pavarotti. At that point, after watching the video of their song on Youtube, the agents were convinced and released it: “Thank you maestro, you saved me,” added Facchinetti, concluding the story.
