After almost half a century of extraordinary dedication to Napoli, Tommaso Starace, historic blue warehouseman, said goodbye to the club and took leave of his second home. Forty-nine years of tireless work, four Scudetti won, dozens of champions who passed through the locker room: from the myth of Diego Armando Maradona to the recent era of Conte and McTominay, Starace was a direct witness to every epic moment in Neapolitan history, with the same passion and the same smile behind every door.

His name is synonymous with continuity, reliability and love for the club, a precious point of reference not only for the players but for the entire Azzurri family. On the day of his official farewell, there were moments of emotion and gratitude, because his figure was a silent and essential pillar. Starace lived the Napoli from the inside, he knew every corner of the locker room, every shirt, every story, becoming a symbol for those who wore the shirt and for those who love it.

His passing has marked Neapolitan football more than can be told: 49 years of smiles, of coffees shared with champions, of moments of celebration and sacrifice. His farewell leaves a huge void, but also an indelible mark in the memory of those who had the privilege of working alongside him and cheering for the team he served with pride.
