It’s no secret – Naples adores Diego Armando Maradona. He’s their hero and will always be. They’re more Maradonians than Italians.”Mama, mama, mama…Oh visto maradona,enamorado estoy…”Buenos días Argentinos e hinchas del mundo de la Argentina 🇦🇷. Les regalo esta invocación a Maradona, este coro cantando el Ma Ma oh visto Maradona, del homenaje al Diego que le hicieron en Napoli , que les va a alegrar el día. Vamos Argentina 🇦🇷 pic.twitter.com/83nkfUEtlw— Veronica Brunati (@verobrunati) November 26, 2022 And the entire city is still embellished with Diego’s portraits, although it’s been 31 years since he left Italy in anything but a peaceful way. Moreover, Maradona left us all in 2019, but despite all that, they still adore him, and he’s “more alive” than ever.Because of him, the Neapolitans are celebrating the Albiceleste World Cup title as if it was their own, albeit Italy didn’t even qualify for the global showpiece.No paraba el Napolitano 😁 pic.twitter.com/eXopmTDexr— Mati (@MatiiiAlonso) December 19, 2022 For both superstition and almost religious worshipping of Maradona, the window with Diego’s face in the city of Naples never opens. Only if and when Napoli win the Scudetto, and the last time it happened was when Diego was on board in 1990. Since then, it was shut until Sunday night, when they opened it for a reason – Diego’s Argentina won the World, and the party kickstarted even in the streets of this town in South Italy.The circle is closed: Messi joins Diego in the pantheon of immortalsAfter the celebration, they closed it again. And now are waiting for that other reason… hopefully we’ll see ‘opened Diego’ again in May 2023.##NAJAVA_MECA_6900000##
