The world of sports is in mourning in the Lower Garda area, for the premature death of Federico Gasperetti, a tambourine athlete who wore the colors of Solferino. Friday evening, he died at the age of 35 following a terrible car accident on the roads of his hometown, Tuenno in the province of Trento.
A brilliant career, his. In the past he had won the championship with Cavaion and the world championship in Medole with the Italian national team in 2016. The match scheduled for Saturday evening between Cavrianese and Solferino was postponed, while – as a sign of mourning and closeness to the family – a minute of silence was observed on all the other fields. He leaves behind in grief his partner Valentina and his two young sons Giulio and Gioele.
“With deep regret and sadness – FIPT, Italian Tamburello Ball Federation, writes in a statement – we learn of the passing of Federico Gasperetti, an athlete of national and international importance. His smile, his sympathy, his determination and his great instinct, which made him one of the strongest full-backs of the last twenty years, leave us with an immense void and great sadness. The Federal President, together with the Federal Councilors, the General Secretary, the employees and the entire world of Palla Tamburello hold each other tightly, in this very sad moment, to the family of our dear Federico”.
