The history of Parma is linked to that of Gianluigi Buffon. The former Crociati goalkeeper was an icon of Magico Parma’s successes in Europe. Buffon’s history is also closely linked to Parma. He arrived in the duchy as a boy and then returned as a legend of world football, ending his career here. The Municipality of Parma is ready to reward the former captain, as announced last night by the councillor Marco Bosi at 12 TV Parma: “We have been discussing this with the mayor for a while, already following his retirement from playing football. His choice to return to Parma in difficulty and to finish his journey here, demonstrating affection for the city not taken for granted, given that he has performed on prestigious stages, in our opinion he has a value and we have chosen to return this value through the seal of the city. It will be delivered to him on May 17th at the Paganini auditorium, it will be the opportunity to share this symbolic moment with him. When I called him to propose it he didn’t think about it for half a second, demonstrating what I said before. It will be an event open to the city.”
