Ex-wife: Anyone who loves Maradona should come to Naples, where he never left

September 7th News Recently, Maradona's ex-wife Claudia Villafani and her group embarked on a trip to Italy, recalling the scene when Maradona played in Naples.

She co-curated the trip with Boca Youth's official photographer China Sanjuan, leading 19 lucky people from Argentina to Rome, Milan and Naples. It was an emotional journey for Claudia, who would return to the city she once spent great time with Maradona.

Claudia said: "We will visit Place Pribicito, Egg Castle and the Melgelina Beach. We will also go to watch the game against Pisa. We have already been to Villafiorito, where Maradona started playing football, and our adventure begins."

In Naples, Claudia has many friends, but every corner of the city reminds her of Maradona, she said: "We have dinner in Mareciaro, admire Mount Vesuvius, our home in Posilipo, and the paradise center of Socavo, and we will also go to see all the frescoes that commemorate him." A mural in the Spanish district has become a sacred site, with more than 6 million tourists visiting each year. Claudia also traveled to Naples at night and rode her motorcycle across the street. She recalled her first visit to Naples on July 5, 1984, when the court was filled with people who welcomed Maradona. She walked up to the stands in a blue dress, and she was almost crying with excitement at that moment.

The arrival of Maradona reignited the hope of the people of Naples. Claudia said: "The love of fans is always so special. Once we bought things in a children's goods store. Hundreds of people knocked on the windows, and even a piece of glass broke. We had to run away. We were never alone in Naples."

Even if we were going to sea, they could not get rid of the enthusiastic fans. Claudia said: "We would take a boat trip to Ischia on holidays. Islands such as Capri and Procida. Soon after, fans also found us, surrounded us with boats and rowboats, just to greet him. So we could only go out to sea in the evening, but we were very happy. "

Asked about the best moments with Maradona in Naples, Claudia mentioned the first Serie A championship: "The celebration lasted for several days, very special." And for the second championship, the club chairman Ferraino invited everyone to board a big ship to celebrate. Her favorite goal was Maradona's free kick against Juventus at the São Paulo Stadium: "That ball violated all the laws of reason and flew into the goal, and Maradona was so unique."

As for life off the court, Claudia said: "He was always the same Diego, and if he won the game, everything was fine. But if he lost, we wouldn't talk until Monday. His life revolved around football, and it was a different era, and people valued the jerseys and the team, not just the economic interests as they are now."

Despite many difficult times, Claudia always supported She said, "I prefer to remember those wonderful times. When we parted, love did not end, but changed form. He was the father of Dama and Jaina, and we all hoped that the daughters would be happy."

Every time we had a chance, Claudia would return to Naples, and she said, "Anyone who loves Diego should come to Naples at least once, where Maradona never left, and I believe I would cry during this trip."

When asked what she would say if Maradona was alive, Claudia replied, "He knows everything, I always talk to him, I know he is listening."
