Farewell to Davide Gavazzi
Davide Gavazzi sadly did not make it. The 28-year-old Tuscan goalkeeper died in a Florence hospital. The unfortunate athlete had fallen ill while preparing to play the Tuscan Second Category Cup match between Montagna Pistoiese, the team in which he played, and Cintolese.
Help arrived immediately: 118 doctors gave the young man heart massage until the helicopter arrived and he was admitted to intensive care.
“Davide had recently arrived in the Mountain, but he was part of us. He had managed to win us over and unite us, so much so that it seemed like we had known him forever. We will remember him this way with his smile and his desire to play,” the remembrance from his home club.
