Carlo Mazzone’s run under the Atalanta curve becomes a mural.

As reported The day, the author is the young Brescia street artist Michele Battagliola, a 24-year-old law student. A month and a half after the death of the Roman coach, the image of Sor Carletto immortalized on 30 September 2001 appeared on the shutter of a former pharmacy – now a general store – in the center of Brescia – the city where Mazzone coached for three years. Roberto Baggio scored the 3-3 against Atalanta.

The goal that sealed the match with a draw, scored by Divin Codino who in Brescia, thanks to his relationship with Mazzone, lived a second footballing life, triggered the then coach Swallows towards the group of Bergamo ultras who had targeted him with chants against his mother. A sprint that the coach himself later regretted, but which contributed to placing Mazzone forever among the elite of the characters most loved by Brescia supporters.
