Brescia pays tribute to Carletto Mazzone, the Roman coach who passed away a month and a half ago and who led the Rondinelle in A league In what was perhaps the best period ever for the white-and-blue team. The artist is the young street artist Michele Battagliola, a 24-year-old law student from Brescia, and the mural appeared on the shutter of a former pharmacy—now a general store—in the center of Brescia.
Battagliola immortalized in a work of art the Roman coach's run under the Atalanta curve in the final stages of the derby against Bergamo on September 30, 2001, when Roberto Baggio scored first the 3-2 and then the final 3-3 in the highly-anticipated match against Atalanta.
