On the sidelines of the ceremony for the awarding of the Seal of the City of Parma to Gianluigi Buffon at the Paganini Auditorium, the Sports Councilor spoke Marco Bosi: “For some time we had been thinking of giving something symbolic to Buffon on behalf of the city. The response took between one and a second and a half, demonstrating the affection that Gigi has for Parma. And I thank him for this because it is not taken for granted or obligatory. Today we will talk about sport at various levels, it is clear that what Buffon represented for the city is not trivial, and I remember very clearly my first year as a season ticket holder nine years old and my dad and I heard the lineups: Buffon’s name was there and my dad said: “How strange, the Primavera boy is playing, something must have happened to the other one”. other”, who is Alessandro Nista, also present here. We all know the story: it lasted a long time, fortunately. There is a Spanish director, Rodriguez, who says that youth ends when your favorite player is younger than you: then since last year I feel less young because Gigi chose to stop, but he did it in our city”.
