“There are several hundreds of signatures so far, but as they will support the file that will be submitted, we are trying to have others. We said it would be submitted in May, I hope we will succeed. For me, the renaming of Melantias Street would mean a recognition of our newest culture. It would be a recognition of the great work of the Greek artist, composer, teacher, performer Dimitris Fabas. Perhaps even a certainty that even in this way his work will remain known to the younger generations”says the “guitar pages” n Eva Faba.
