Gerardo Salvucci, historic warehouseman of the Granata club, this morning suffered an illness - probably a sudden heart attack - which proved fatal. He was 55 years old and had been following Salernitana since the days of Salerno Calcio in Serie D, with Lotito and Mezzaroma in 2011.
Salvucci was on vacation and had decided to return to his homeland, Sapri, on the edge of Cilento, where he often devoted himself to fishing, one of his passions. Only a few months ago, Salvucci had lost his sister in similar circumstances while he was away following the club.
A tireless worker, a perfect workaholic who traveled thousands of kilometers with the club van, anticipating the arrival of the team on away trips up and down Italy. Gerardo had accompanied the club from the interregional to the top flight with unique enthusiasm. Shortly after the sad news, the press release from Danilo Iervolino's club arrived.
The pain of Salernitana
“The US Salernitana 1919, President Danilo Iervolino, the managers, the coach, the players and all the staff gather around the pain for the loss of the storekeeper Gerardo Salvucci, a tireless worker who with passion and love for the garnet shirt has worked for the club of the seahorse from 2011 to today”.
