Angelo Falletta was someone who was never about to lose, in competitions he “bit” his opponents, someone who always wanted to be there, because sport and running were his whole life. An athlete who never gave up, a driving force, disruptive and disruptive. This morning we woke up with a thousand smiles, tonight we’ll go to bed with quite a few tears, incredulous and pissed off because today was supposed to be a day of joy and light-heartedness and not of mourning…
