"Italy is a country where dreams cannot easily come true but it's a land of passion and creativity," Zaffagnini said.
The Foo Fighters are currently scheduled to perform in Casalecchio Di Reno, Italy, on Nov. 13 -- about an hour away from Cesena.
The band responded to the video on Thursday, saying, "Che bello, Cesena," which translates to "How beautiful."
