The announcement made by his wife at night through a message on social networks. Rossi lived with his wife in Valdambra and had a strong bond with Valdarno, where he had promoted and participated in numerous initiatives
Paolo Rossi died in the night, struck down by an incurable disease, world champion of Italy in 1982, symbol of that World Cup in which he led the national team to victory, also winning the Ballon d’Or. The announcement of his death, which occurred at the age of 64, was given by his wife Federica Cappelletti in the night with a message on social media.
All Italy is in mourning for ‘Pablito’, and also for the Valdarno with whom he had a particular bond. Toscano di Prato, had become a citizen of the municipality of Bucine for some years, and had chosen the Valdambra to live. And in Valdarno he had promoted and participated in many initiatives to promote sport especially among the youngest. Always available, kind, kind, he was not only a hero in football, but a man who promoted those positive values of sport and life by his own example.
We want to remember this with this article from 2012 edited by our colleague Federica Crini, in which he himself, in a video interview, recounted his 1982 world championship by presenting his book to Bucine.
In this video, however, just over a year ago, On the occasion of the Menarini Fair Play award in Montevarchi, he was able to relive the emotions of the World Cup face to face with Zico.
And also in 2012, interviewed by his colleague Andrea Tani, he recalled the emotions of his “legendary world”.
