It is November 25, 2020, in full lockdown.
Around four in the afternoon Italian time, the news of Diego Armando's death spreads Maradona.A Neapolitan who emigrated to the North, but grew up in Naples during the years when he played in the shadow of Vesuvius, is shocked by the news.
“Alone, locked at home due to the pandemic, he embarks on a dreamlike journey through memories of the past and the difficulties of the present, telling the point of view of millions of people around the world, for whom El Pibe de Oro – the authors emphasize – He is not only the greatest footballer in history, but a symbol of revenge, identity, belonging and his death is an opportunity to celebrate the man who overturned all predictions, on and off the pitch, with all his frailties, without judgement”.
An act of love for the D10S, no longer a private idol, but a figure of universal value and denunciation against those who, in life, always demonized him: “We are mainly talking about the personal, almost familiar relationship that each enthusiast has developed with his image” says the author.
Two audiovisual projects, a collection of Maradonian images and symbols between Naples and Buenos Aires and a tribute video, complete the show. “He who loves never forgets” It's not just a phrase of circumstance. Not when talking about Diego.
