The letter published on the Napoli website

“Dear Diego, you leave a great testimony of what a man is with all his fragility, his strength, his total love for life and for his neighbor. A unique and unrepeatable champion.

Your weaknesses, your blemishes, your mistakes are equal to your immense greatness to be annulled in the myth.

Many have said that it represents the synthesis between genius and recklessness. A painter of the globe: unique brushstrokes to remember in the “Louvre” of the great artists. Like a restless Caravaggio who is forgiven for indomitable and recklessness for his immense greatness.

I think it’s only fair to name San Paolo after you so that we can have you with us as a witness to the excellent path that this team has taken.

Yours were indelible years in the memory of the Neapolitans. Symbol of a coveted redemption and a desired resurrection.

Thanks Diego you are and you will stay with all of us ”.

Aurelio De Laurentiis
