Good luck, Giamma
“Since no statement was made for your arrival, this is not a statement for your departure. This is therefore a NON-press release.
This is a story that starts from your year as Assistant Coach to Prof. Canegallo in a Cadet team and passes through an afternoon at Decioscuri in Acqui Terme.
This is the story of Mario Armana who had seen it for a long time and of Milvio who sacrificed himself in the stands of Gavirate, of Luigino who got angry at your articles before hugging you on the steps of the building.
The improvised radio commentary and Mancio who... "look behind you!" while Tava, Barabino and De Ros were our champions for us even on that night in Collegno where our black and white hearts cried for a long time.
And then every year wondering: "Where did Giamma go?"
And then the years of always wondering: "What did Giamma's team do?"
It all seems like a returning circle, if you think about it. Because we started from the Forum by climbing over the barriers and we could only end up there...
Even if that evening eleven years ago in London it didn't seem possible to me, but, let's face it, it didn't even seem possible that a pilgrimage to Offida would give us the first Cup in your Marche region.
And who would have thought that June 29, 2021 would also arrive...
“Let's call that guy over there,” said Fabio; in fact you were crying on the sofa 500 km from Turin.
When you enter the sports hall that Beniamino wanted for all of us for the first time, I know, you will not be an opponent.
Because Milan will be your life but Derthona will always be your home.
Good luck Giamma, and as always, go Leoni."
Marco Picchi
President Bertram Derthona
