The former striker: “Bagnoli is the most beautiful person of football. Trap did not see me. The beach is a virus that struck me totally. I fell madly in love”
are really two lives. Very full. One as a footballer who begins 200 meters from San Siro where Maurizio Iorio was born on June 6, 1959. The other, from incurable Peter Pan, in the beach soccer, the discipline in which the former center forward, lover of overturned and acrobatics, believed most of all of all starting from Bravo Beacher in 1995 on the sand and becoming the main promoter in Italy. But in the two lives of Iorio there is a glue: the ball. That he loved as a child. When, Milan, he slipped to San Siro, his playground, to peek at the idol Gianni Rivera and pulled his first football at the HH Triestina. Milan discarded him. For the body. The Vigevano took it for 200 pairs of shoes provided to the Milanese club. And from there a fantastic climb began in which Iorio wore 12 shirts. “At 17 I was in Foggia. From there I learned so many rules of life. I began to with Ettore Picicelli, a holy man. I made 6 goals in 17 games. Torino bought me for a billion and a half. I arrived and I measured myself with the sacred monsters: Pulici, Graziani, Claudio Sala”.
