In an attempt to get Foo Fighters to play in his hometown of Cesena, Italy, a rocker named Fabio Zaffagnini assembled 1,000 singers and players in a field and shot a video of them performing "Learn to Fly." It's up on YouTube and is truly one of the most incredible things you'll ever see.

 

After the song was over, Zaffagnini spoke to directly to Foo Fighters, saying, "Italy is a country where dreams cannot easily come true, but it’s a land of passion and creativity. So what we did here was a huge, huge miracle." He said he worked for a year to make it happen and that the musicians came from all over Italy at their own expense to take part.

 

Cesena is a city of 100,000 in the Romagna region of northeastern Italy. Expect Foo Fighters to play there someday soon.

 

Thursday afternoon the official Foo Fighters Twitter account tweeted "Che bello, Cesena,' which means "How beautiful, Cesena."
