He was defeated by the terrible disease that had been persecuting him for some years despite having fought like a warrior until the end. Gianni Novellaa well-known face in sports broadcasts and fitness instructor, passed away this afternoon, June 17th.
A huge Salernitana fan, he had commented on the Granata’s latest exploits which had given him the disappointment of relegation.
Just last Friday 14 June he left us the legacy of the strength to fight against all adversity and the attachment to life in the book “Rainbow” which he managed to bring to print. “It’s a hymn to life” said Gianni during the presentation at the San Giuseppe pastoral center.
“In the book there are five chapters, five colors which however are not part of the rainbow, so we invent them and take them out of the soul” Novella added.
“This represents a bit of a cure in this whole situation that I’m involved in. The care of the soul, let’s call it the unconscious or mystery… and from this I draw the strength to move forward.” Unfortunately, after just three days the illness gave him no escape.
The Salernonotizie editorial team clings to the family and relatives in this moment of pain.
