Bologna, 30 April 2024 – All he started from an idea: to embellish and color the shop windows red and blue of the city to send a message to Thiago Motta and to the team. “Until the end, force Bologna”, obviously.
The Maratona tower lit up in red and blue and the enthusiasm of the Bologna fans
Then the idea became a dream and the dream came true. The people of Bologna responded with all the warmth they are capable of, only beginning to imagine the company once again among the big international names. Thinking, first, aboutEuropa League. Then aiming for the big shot, called Champions. Added to the decorated shop windows is the headquarters of Emil Banca illuminated with the colors of Bologna, the totem of our editorial staff lit together with Radio Sata, the Balanzoni rossoblù, the pizza dedicated to Thiago Motta, the photos, the scarves, the t-shirts, the images of Morandi and Cremonini together, everything and more.
It was just missing the spearhead of a love that started from the bottom and reached the heart of the club: lor stadium. Since yesterday evening, thanks to the renewed commitment of Confcommercio Ascom, Emil Banca and Radio Sata with the company, and the media partnership of Carlino, also the Marathon Tower, recognizable business card of Dall’Ara throughout the world, it has become rossoblù.
“A place that is a symbol – he comments not without a hint of pride Gian Luca Galletti, president of Emil Banca –. An even more beautiful symbol when illuminated, which fully embodies the spirit capable of spreading throughout Bologna. And which is carrying the team, but above all the entire city, with a very positive feeling: I believe this is the strongest and most significant aspect that we must treasure. The fact that cheering is uniting an entire city, from an economic and social cohesion point of view, and can make it grow even more.”
For lovers of mythology, the Bologna’s return trip to Europe could be apostrophized like the feat of Ulysses in an attempt to get back to Ithaca. Twenty years of travel, ten of hard work and commitment lived in the signed era Joey Saputo, and the fans always there waiting for the best day. Like Penelope. Not without heartache, but with hope, trust and determination. In the midst of obstacles, adventures, defeats, victories. Today, with the certainty of a European competition in our pocket, the panorama is so beautiful that the city lights up in every corner, starting from the most emblematic place, Bologna’s home itself.
The commitment behind the festively dressed Maratona Tower is explained Luca Tagliavini which, with partners Angelo Tagliavini, Lorenzo Tagliavini and Mattia Bonetti, leads Radio Sata: “We got even closer to the heart of the team – he explains –, we arrived one step away from the pitch. We used the same technology used to illuminate the Carlino totem, but in this case using as many as 20 lights. In fact, these are a very large area, over 500 square meters of surface area. A platform was put in place that allowed us to carry out a rather complicated assembly, taking care not to mix red with blue, but keeping the colors distinct. A light power that reaches 300 thousand Ansi Lumen. All with great pleasure, commitment and enthusiasm.”
The same transport that, since yesterday evening, all fans will live looking at a tower never seen so beautiful. Repeating: Until the end, fluffs Bologna .
