... On 9th November 1986 Napoli soccer team won in Turin… Soccer in Italy is such a daily story. It is made of Sundays spent at eating roulades all together before to go to the stadium, afternoons spent at playing soccer with dad, white and black balls as gifts and stained scarves
hanging at the clothes hook, which are often the thread connecting relationships in family, an excuse to stay together, the language to express affection and love, the justification to tell about a day that once changed thousands of souls ...
... On 9th November 1986, thousands of people made a date, like lovers do. It is often difficult to agree about time, place and the decision to really meet or not. But sooner or later the opportunity and the excuse to stay together arrive, almost as you have to satisfy an epidermal, physics needing.
Juventus vs Napoli 1 - 3. The capture of Turin was one of those excuses.
The occasion for four friends, four fans (and several Cousins from Countryside) to live an experience, a journey together, in Piedmont’s land, to assist at one of the national league match that is part of history and that still lives in the memory of those who, on that Turin’s Sunday, participated actively.
The occasion for one of those four friends to fix on paper that remembering, which is so exciting for tellers and readers.
