There are those who change the leash of their dog if the match is coming up, and those who resort to coarse salt. There are those who do not change position on the sofa, and those who let their son drag them into cheering. Napoli, whether it flies in the rankings or navigates by sight, has been able to count on its own patrol of fans in the two branches of the Parliament, like every historic Italian team.

Politics and football, Napoli fans prepare the party
And in this, also on a minister. A fan, even if not a die-hard one, he is certainly the head of the Department of Culture, Gennaro Sangiuliano, last reported at the stadium the day after his appointment, Roma-Napoli the match.
But, after the victory over theAtalanta, even for the most ardent and superstitious blue supporters between the Chamber and the Senate it is time to think in 'tricolour'. He does not mince his words Sergio Rastrelli, senator of the Italian Communist Party and one of the founders of the Napoli Parliament club of the 19th legislature, who ventures a parallel between the Executive and the Scudetto.
“I have always been a fan, composed but convinced - He says - and for some time now Napoli, in addition to expressing a great game, has finally acquired a winning mentality, just like Giorgia Meloni's government. A team that exalts itself as a collective, is proud of its identity and what it represents, and is aware of its strength and for this reason guarantees results also for the future".
Se Giorgia Meloni and how Luciano Spalletti, “able to enhance individuals for a team game”, Rakes would like to play “in the role of Meret: the last garrison in defense of a line of firmness”.
Words and promises from politicians who support Napoli for the Scudetto
Gianluca Cantalamessa, League, is for consistency. “From the position of my legs to that of my cell phone and iPad, since the beginning of the championship, I always sit in the same way during the match - he tells - At first I managed to hide it, but then my children noticed and said I was exaggerating."
Still at Lega's house, a curiosity. The Undersecretary of the Interior, Nicholas Molteni, Cantu, is a big fan of theInter but in love with Napoli and of the Neapolitans, cities where, at the request of the same Matteo Salvini, was commissioner of the League in Campania for a long time between 2019 and 2020.
His communications advisor, Giancarlo Borriello, a professional journalist and spokesperson for the Campania League since 2015, has not missed a single match Napoli along with her 10-year-old daughter. How they understand each other, given the current ranking, is a miracle of politics.
Among the Dems, the 'Neapolitans' patrol can count on the support of Stefano Graziano; on that of Valeria Valente, more composed but now also dragged along by her son, more than passionate about the exploits of osimhen and companions; on that of Paolo Siani, among those who do not like to answer on the question of the tricolour.
The former president of Room and leading exponent of the 5 star movement a Napoli, Roberto Fico, instead, already a few weeks ago with the hosts of Kiss Kiss, a private radio station, he was explicit: “I believe very much in the dream of the Scudetto. I think it's the right year, because all the conditions are there to achieve that result”.
“I will give the Juventus mayor Manfredi a Napoli season ticket for the next championship, so he can watch some great football and become a bit Neapolitan, given that he is far from the real city”, the FI MEP throws it into politics Fulvio Martusciello, who is preparing a party.
Always among the 'blues' of Silvio Berlusconi, the deputy is more than blue Francesco Maria Rubano, who founded the parliamentary group Diego Armando Maradona and who, before every match, sprinkles coarse salt around himself as a superstitious act.
