“It was the thing that moved me the most,” said the Chosen One. She who arrives on the top in a historical moment for women, who dreamed of playing as Baggio, who was struck by Protti’s goals at the “Picchi” in Livorno, here, one day in 2006 – coming out of the Enriques Scientific High School – saw on the saddle of your own scooter a “brochure” that promoted the registrations to the “Baconcini” section of Livorno.

Then the Italian Cup between two Serie A teams (December ’21). “The referee – she told Famiglia Cristiana – is unpleasant to everyone: whether he is male or female, he does not change”. Maria Sole has two degrees (Political Science and International Relations and the other in Sociology), considers “loyalty and naturalness” the best elixirs and “entered the group as any referee, treated by the boys as any referee” says Rocchi.
