Treated at the San Paolo hospital, three stitches to the chest and a lot of fear. This is the misadventure of Gianpaolo, a citizen of casalnuovo moved to the Brands and returned for the match that he could have given to the Napoli the shield.

Outside the Maradona stadium, on the B side, a driver of about 35 years old, driving a beige Lancia Ypsilon, tries to pass through the crowd of cheering people at around 13pm on Sunday.

Strong accelerations, hand pressed on the horn, touching the legs of women and children. When a group of boys point out to the driver the risks he could create, the uncivilized man gets out of the car, lifting the handbrake, and stabs Gianpaolo in the chest, who had stepped forward to protect a friend from the aggressor's threats.

“It's a holiday, we're here to celebrate,” Gianpaolo says to the thug who got out of the car but gets stabbed. “I was afraid I was going to die, in a few minutes my whole life flashed before my eyes.

I thought about my son and my family and at the hands of a violent madman I might never see them again. I went to Naples to celebrate and I encountered a terrifying experience,” Gianpaolo told the Green-Side Alliance MP Francesco Emilio Borrelli.

“Shame, shame and more shame. A day of celebration that risked turning into a tragedy. Full solidarity with the victim who fortunately survived also thanks to the prompt intervention of the medical staff.

It is always difficult in terms of security to manage huge numbers of people on the move. In addition to all the work done by the police, it is necessary to provide more controls among the crowds gathered on the streets for the festival next week, given the reckless use of violence.

It is a good thing that plainclothes officers mingle, at key points, among the tens of thousands of people to face the demands and arrogance of the violent people who are never lacking and can really represent serious risks for the safety of decent people". Francesco Emilio Borrelli, a member of the Europa Verdi – Sinistra party, said this to whom Gianpaolo told his story.
