—
Below are the words of Vincenzo Cuomoreported by our editorial staff: “I can’t and don’t want to believe it. The same evening in which violent earthquakes shook houses and earth in the Campi Flegreithrowing that population into panic, in Bologna in the stadium curve they celebrated an eruption of Vesuvius. I have always admired Bologna and its people for how much civilization and culture could be breathed in the air in that city. And I want to continue admiring Bologna and the people of Bologna for what they have always been. Of course those choirsthat evening, they did not do honor to Bologna and to the people of Bologna. THE Napoli fans, more or less a year ago, displayed this banner in Bologna, in that same stadium, as a sign of solidarity and closeness to Emilia Romagna and to the people of Emilia affected by a violent flood. As a football fan, proudly Italian, I congratulate the team BergamoL’Atalantawhich won theEuropa League yesterday at Dublin. We keep our problems, our delays, but we keep our fans, our values and our way of understanding and showing closeness and solidarity. #matter of style”.
