His passion

 

Simone loved soccer, he was a tireless fan of the "AC Roma" team.

He used to go to the stadium since when he was a child, and for us, that didn't know almost anything about soccer, the origin of his passion remained always a fascinating and unfathomable mystery. But he always understood it, and his love for us is testified by the hundred of times he tried to explained us the offside rules: I have never understood what it was, his mother neither. He knew it, and has always been very patient. He has never despised us for this, or at least, not in front of us...

He also played in a team and had chosen an important role, the goalkeeper: he used to say that the goalkeeper was a role of great responsibility, that his errors weighed more but also that he liked for this. He was a good goalkeeper, and when an important italian team was interested in him, his eyes were sparkling like few other times..

He liked the role of goalkeeper and it has been his courage that day that pushed him to react in such a fast and impetuous way. " A brave exit " they have told us and for the truth, he managed to avoid a goal with a particular dynamic effect. Simone loved the competition and the sport. He was responsable in every action of his, also in the daily ones. Honest, sincere and victorious in the field and in the life, as only true heroes can be. We are sure that he would have known how to face and overcome any other challenge during his life.

Today we want Simone to be for us, his parents, and for all the sport lovers, a valid example of courage and honesty.
