Salvucci’s death, nobody from the granata squad at the funeral in Sapri yesterday. The indignation of Salerno fans

The Salernitana fans paid homage and remembered Gerardo Salvucci on the day of his funeral, which took place in the Church of the Immacolata in Sapri, his town of origin. Salvucci, a historic warehouse worker of the team, passed away due to a sudden heart attack. Many ultras were present for the final farewell, but no Granata players, except the former Pasquale Mazzocchi. Gerardo’s family was overwhelmed by the affection of many fans and those who had known and appreciated him. He worked for the Granata team for 13 years, from Serie D to Serie A, remaining behind the scenes with humility. The testimonies demonstrate how much he was loved. “Salernitana was not a job but a passion”, recalled Don Roberto Faccenda. Emotion, tears and emotion were the protagonists of the ceremony, together with the fans’ chorus: “Gerardo is here and sings with the ultras”. Pasquale Mazzocchi remembered Salvucci with affection and emotion, defining him as a childhood friend and life partner, highlighting how important he was for everyone. Meanwhile in the city after Gerardo’s funeral yesterday, in addition to disbelief still reigning, indignation is taking hold. First of all towards the company leaders who were absent in church and then for the absence of the entire garnet squad. On social media and elsewhere there are many messages of condolence mixed with anger. No one deigned to say hello to a man who was like an older brother to them. Not even the captain, there was no one. The icing on the cake of a shameful season to be forgotten as quickly as possible
