Thirty-three years later, Napoli became the champion of Italy. City in euphoria. The party was already guessing and the team had no shortage of incentives. That is exactly what happened last Sunday at Sunday Mass at the Church of San Vitale, a ten-minute walk from the Diego Armando Maradona stadium. “Napoli” played at home and could become a champion. Father Fabio De Luca ended Sunday Mass in an original way. Instead of the usual “Go in peace and the Lord goes with you,” he led the faithful into an uplifting version of the Napoli fans’ anthem “Sarò com te” (“I’ll be with you”), cheering the team on. It was only a matter of time before Napoli became champions.
In Santa Maria dei Miracoli, Father Valentino de Angelis last week placed a large version of the Italian Scudetto, the symbol of victory in the championship, over the entrance to the church with the number 3 highlighted, a direct nod to Napoli’s third title in 97 years. club history. The wish came true. “The neighborhood is getting ready, and the church couldn’t help but add some color,” Father De Angelis said.
The passion for Napoli is so strong that Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe, who was Archbishop of Naples from 2006 to 2020, recently said he saw no reason why popular manager Luciano Spalletti, who led Napoli to a third title, could not ever someday be declared a saint.
