He hasn't yet signed the contract that binds him to the Azzurri, but Romelu Lukaku has already become part of Neapolitan culture and folklore. His arrival at Napoli, under the guidance of Antonio Conte, now seems like a formality, and the Neapolitan fans have already begun to welcome him warmly.
In San Gregorio Armeno, the famous street of nativity scenes, the master craftsman Genny Di Virgilio wanted to pay homage to the future Belgian striker by creating a statuette depicting him. A symbolic gesture that marks Lukaku's entry not only into the blue team, but also into the heart of the city.
The statuette has already become an attraction for the curious and fans, demonstrating how in Naples football is a real religion, capable of merging with the tradition of the nativity scene. The craftsman Di Virgilio has thus given his very personal welcome to Lukaku, confirming once again the indissoluble bond between football passion and Neapolitan popular culture.
