In the special DAZN available in app from today, “Dear Diego, the wait is over, this is the sound that joy makes”, Ferrara travels the streets of Napoli talking to the Pibe de Oro, remembering his football successes, but above all his cultural traits: the munaciellu, San Gennaro, superstition and faith.

Ciro Ferrara's full letter to DAZN

The sacred and the profane to consecrate to all the Saints, even the sports ones, a triumph awaited three decades. This is the extract of Ferrara's letter: “Every year on May 10th there is a custom for us in Naples to honor the Scudetto.

Everyone must be polite, everyone must have this thought."

“This year, like Totò in Livella, an adventure happened, you may have heard, Diego, even if you rest, deep down it is not going unnoticed. The wait is over.

This is the noise that joy makes. It is always something more than itself, Naples. It brings melancholy on a day of celebration and laughs in the days of despair”.

“It makes you believe it's the country of the sun and then it welcomes you with rain; the rain that was falling when you scored your most incredible goal against Juve.

It looks like one of those ghost towns in the old West.”

“But the real paradise is out there. It’s full of tourists, Diego, your Naples. They come to see the sets of TV series, the places in the sun, the sea outside.

Tonight they came to see your murals and the painted city."

“They come to understand the inexplicable, the memory of a love that speaks to us and does not pass. Here it is, Diego, the letter from Naples for you.

Look one last time down here. No one is more beautiful than Partenope tonight.”
