Davide Astori would have turned 33 : Fiorentina reminded him with the message 'DA13 forever', as well as the other clubs (from Rome to Cagliari) where he defended the defender who died suddenly on March 4, 2018 while he was in retirement in Udine with the purple team.
A touching dedication is the one that posted on her Instagram profile her partner Francesca Fioretti with whom Astori had a daughter, Vittoria: the woman on vacation in Finland admires a northern lights and writes 'You found us' together with a black heart and the message in English 'always together'. Even the purple fans made a dedication through a long banner displayed on the gates of the Franchi stadium with the words 'Wherever you will be your captain'. Those same fans who from that day of the disappearance of Astori remember him with choruses and applause at the 13th minute of each game. There are also many messages posted by comrades and colleagues in addition to that of the mayor of Florence Dario Nardella.
