Curiosity

A whole bar in Madrid serving Italian tapas, drinks and food dedicated to Nina Zilli's L'amore è femmina, the Italian entry in Eurovison 2012 in Baku. A shot of her graces the center wall of the bar, but it's dedicated to more "female love" than only La Zilli, the walls are covered also by other female Italian singers from Mina to Arisa, from Noemi to Gigliola Cinquetti and Mia Martini. On top of that there are frases from her song written all over, such as the unforgettable "ma che caldo fa....". L'amore è femmina italian tapas food & drinks
