Italy and Vicenza they said goodbye for the last time Paolo rossi, the hero of the ’82 World Cup who died at the age of 64 after a serious illness. The funeral took place in Vicenza Cathedral: to avoid crowds, the square and the streets leading to the cathedral have been closed. Present 300 people in the church to comply with Covid restrictions, including the 1982 world champions who carried the coffin on their shoulders to church. In the coffin the links of the Vicenza and the Italian team.
At the exit, it was mehis son Alessandro at the head, along with the world champions, to bring out the coffin to the applause of the Vicenza people and the choirs “Pablito, Pablito!”. Among those present also Paolo Maldini, Roberto Baggio, president of FIGC Gravina.
These are the words of his wife Federica Cappelletti, very moved: “In these days we have received amazing and moving certificates of affection. I wish Paul could have seen all this affection. He was a simple, generous person and that is why it seemed appropriate to open my pain to tell about his greatness and his feelings ”.
“His desire to be one of many, it seemed right to do it even if it is exhausting at times because the pain still hurts a lot. Pablo belonged to the people, to everyone, and it is fair that he be remembered for his greatness but also in this phase of suffering. I am what he created, he taught me a lot to have courage and to face problems always with a smile ”.
A lot of sense Cabrini’s Farewell: “I have not only lost a teammate, but a friend and a brother. Together we fight, win and sometimes lose, always standing up even in the face of disappointments. We were part of a group, that group, our group. I didn’t think you would be leaving so soon, but we would still walk a lot together. I miss you already, your words of comfort, your jokes and your stupid jokes. Your improvisations and your smile. I really miss everything about you, today I want to thank you because if I am who I am, I also owe it to the wonderful friend that you were. I will never leave you, but you are close to all of us, as I will be close to Federica and your children ”.
The body will be cremated, and the urn, as his wife announced, will always be with the family in Poggio Cennina.
