Acerra opens the Roberto Lorentini sports center: Antonio Conte guest of honor

It’s a day of celebration in the city of Acerra, in the province of Naples. This afternoon, at the Diocesan venue, the sports center named after Roberto Lorentini, a victim of the Heysel tragedy on May 29, 1985, was inaugurated. Dr. Lorentini, who in his lifetime was awarded the Silver Medal for Civil Valor, lost his life by staying on site to help the injured, overwhelmed by madness and human violence.

As reported by the Instagram page ‘Calcio Acerrano,’ on the occasion of this extraordinary event, Napoli coach Antonio Conte was also present, taking advantage of the international break to pay tribute to a figure who certainly deserves it. Alongside him was Sergio Brio, former footballer and current representative of Juventus.

At the opening of the sports center, prominent local figures were present, including the mayor Tito d’Errico and the bishop of Acerra, Don Antonio Di Donna. Napoli’s coach showed great warmth toward the children attending the inauguration, who asked Conte many questions, thrilled to meet the architect of the fourth Scudetto in the history of the Azzurri club.

It was a beautiful event for the city of Acerra, proud to have hosted a prominent figure like Antonio Conte on an important day dedicated to a local hero like Dr. Lorentini.
