The long and touching applause dedicated to Sofia Vialli from the packed room of the Carlo Felice still echoes in the ears of the many fans who paid homage to the champion on the Genoese evening. On stage the bomber's daughter, with her sister Olivia and mother Cathryn in the audience, read a funny anecdote told by Vialli in “The Important Things”, about her resemblance to Bruce Willis.
Published by Mondadori, the book edited by director Marco Ponti and writer Pier Domenico Baccalario comes out today, with the words of Gianluca Vialli collected on the set of “La Bella Season”. “One day Gianluca said to me “ok, we're making the film but do you have time to listen to other important things that I would like to remain?” – says Ponti, present in Rapallo on Sunday for the inauguration of Viale Gianluca Vialli – Pier Domenico Baccalario and I took up the commitment with happiness and responsibility and put together the long interview in a book: it is our small contribution, who will read book even if he hasn't met the footballer he will know the man”.
The proceeds of “Le cose importa” will be donated to the “Vialli and Mauro Foundation for research and sport Onlus” for the “MOMALS: multi-omics monitoring and analysis of ALS” project, of the NeMO Clinical Centers in Milan and Arenzano (GE ).
“Seeing the light in the eyes of the fans, in Marco Lanna and his teammates when they talk about Vialli – continues Ponti – makes you understand even more a year later what Gianluca has left. This is a truly rare thing, to see that a person passed away a year ago and the memory of him is still so alive in people's hearts. How many of us would like something like this. He had this magic and it's just a privilege to have been able to spend a very small moment of my life with him.”
The memory of Vialli excites but always brings a smile “because Luca loved to laugh and joke – concludes the director – but above all he loved being together with people, keeping them together, creating a group of friends, a family, it is one of those great values that seem obvious but which in reality we see more and more rarely, for him the relationship, being together, was everything. And therefore also living with irony, because there is no irony alone, it must be done together.”
