Bologna, 1 May 2024 – Bologna she had forgotten qhow many colors football could have. Thiago Motta has removed the gray scale, giving a new light to an entire city. Europe in his pocket, the Champions League in his head. “There are no more half emotions”, to quote one of the many phrases from that well of humanity that is ‘Rimasugli’, the project created in October 2011 by Leo Vicari which follows the communicative and sociological evolution of the writings in Bologna.
Journalist and speaker since 2000conductor of Almost goal on Nettuno Bologna Unoamong the most original voices on the city scene, Leo is first of all, a Big Bologna fan. “I saw that match at my parents’ house, my idol, Tomas Locatelli, scored. We lost without any ifs or buts, we got to that Intertoto badly”, says Leo referring to the second leg final lost 3-1 against Fulham on 27 August 2002. That was the rossoblù’s last appearance outside Italy.
“But for many BologneseEurope is truly finished with the Marseille in 1999, with that last minute penalty against Dall’Ara. That was the last truly exciting and significant experience, the day of the Virtus-Fortitudo derby in Monaco. The circle was interrupted there: we continue it today”, argues Leo, guest today on ‘Caffè rossoblù’, our podcast.
“At 44.9 years old I find myself obsessed with Bologna in the Champions League – admits Leo –, this is because I believe that sport nowadays can still give us emotions, where we can not be afraid of not being prudent. We can exaggerate our ambitions.”
