Fioravanti (Fiore) Luciani (November 18, 1935– March 14, 2011)

Abbiamo perso un grande juventino, Fiore Luciani. Quella maledetta malatia ce l’ha portato via in poco tempo. Era socio del Club Juventus da tanto tempo; un grande sostenitore del nostro Club; veniva sempre a vedere la partita insieme alla moglie; quando non poteva venire, telefonava per sapere il risultato. Abbiamo perso un grande amico. Fiore era venuto da Torino anni fa e aveva visto tante partite al Comunale. A lui piaceva raccontare della Juve di Sivori, Boniperti e Charles. Ha lottato fino all’ultimo, aveva tanta fede e coraggio, non é bastata. Caro Fiore, ci Fiore Luciani (in the black hat) pictured with Joe mancherai molto. Ti vorremo sempre bene.
