On November 29, 2020 Dalma gave the world a lesson in finitude: he went up to the Bombonera box before the Boca-Newell's game and saw the space uninhabited forever: it was the beginning of the process, to understand that from now on that balcony It would be the memory of before the void.
She, the one who hugged her father on the ledge over and over again, the one who held him by the waist when he seemed to fall, began to believe in the impossible: that Diego Armando Maradona could also die.
Dalma
grew up in the republic of the impossible.
He once commented that he wanted to have a dolphin as a pet and his father started a logistics -finally unsuccessful- to bring a dolphin to live in Moreno's villa.
His normality was that.
There is a photo that disarmed the world.
But more disarms the subsequent sequence.
It is an image from 1989, of a Neapolitan training.
Diego is sitting on the ball.
Two-year-old Dalma decorates her father's stockings with daisies
.
Next act, the emotional dagger, El Diez joins in running in a group: he jogs with the little flowers of love hooked in a row.
In the early years,
Dalma believed that Diego was "a soccer player who played a bit well
.
"
Years after retirement he took dimension of how much "a little" was.
His childhood was a continuous attempt to digest
"how such a beautiful person had such imperfect moments"
and to try to assimilate each new and fleeting Maradona.
One day he would get up and his father was a truck driver going to work aboard a Scania, another, a UNICEF Ambassador.
One day the girl lived in Seville, another, 15 kilometers from La Boca.
His main annoyance was "having to share that father with everyone", in La Matanza or in Belarus.
Now there is no minute that they are not reminded.
If you go to social networks, you already have a hundred photos of cool tattoos in tribute.
If you drive aimlessly, there is always a wall, a mural, a filleted blind that brings you back to life as an onion or an adult.
The film record has multiplied since November 25, the files are opened, shared, viralized.
Dalma is premiering her own year one after "Christ."

Dalma's gestational calendar indicates that she was conceived weeks after the hand of God
.
He was born on the Day of the Veteran and the Fallen in the Falklands War, on April 2.
It was in 1987, 10 days ahead of schedule.
He weighed four kilos.
Diego was in Italy, he had just stuck his tongue out at Juventus, was concentrating to face Empoli, and did not arrive at the Sun Clinic in time, where Claudia had to request an adjoining room to house the teddy bears and the string of flowers that came relentlessly.
Claudia had put on 20 kilos before deciding to fly to Buenos Aires to give birth in Argentina.
When Diego took an emergency flight to meet Dalma Nerea,
in Italy there was low talk of the "protection" that the Camorra promised to the Maradona princess.
Instead, they spoke out loud about another baby, Dieguito Maradona Sinagra, six months old.
"They offered almost a million dollars for a photo of Dalma. It happens that I earn money playing football, not showing my daughter's face."
The Europeanized Diego told Juan Alberto Badía, in
Badía and company
, hours before taking the girl to Naples.
His new fear, the abyss that was opening up, already had football in the background.
"Her cheeks are two apples. I can't change her diapers, I feel like she might break."
Dalma Maradona's pain in the Bombonera.
-May no one hang medals. Dalma got me out of the drug
In several interviews, Pelusa assigned such responsibility to the daughter whom he baptized Dalma in honor of Doña Tota (Dalma Salvadora Franco).
Nerea, the second name, comes from a Basque saint and means something like "mine, it belongs to me
.
"
One of the legends indicates that Nerea her parents wanted to marry her at all costs.
A kind of cell was made to worship God.
- "I was at home, I was arming and I heard little footsteps. I didn't give him a ball. When I heard the door I threw everything (the drugs). I opened the door, I made Dalma come in, he said 'I want to pee daddy'. We looked at each other and I put her to sleep. It was a bell. "
"In the coma I remember that I was like black pitch and they threw hooks at me and I stretched out my hand and I couldn't get out.
Dalma pulled me out, telling me that Giannina left school crying asking to live what Dalma had lived with me," Diego insisted in awarding him the diploma.
"'Wake up daddy,'" he asked me. "
Dalma's explanation detracted from her role.
"It wasn't just me, but Gianinna and my mom too. He knew that if he went to my house he had to be fine because I was there at the door, waiting when he arrived at three in the morning. He knew that if it didn't come in handy. , I cut his face ".
End of the '80s, Diego, Dalma and Claudia (Clarín Archive)
The first approach to a stage was at two years old. Diego had a circus tent closed exclusively for her in Naples.
Dalma saw the animals, got scared and went into a crying crisis.
At the age of 13, he tattooed the theater masks on his lower back, despite the fact that Diego, with his very painted body, refused.
Graduated in Acting, the first university in the family, graduated from IUNA, several times she blushed that her father offered to buy the place to "ease the way."
She always put coherence before the castles in the air that Diego imagined.
"Studying in a public place, I who came from private school, I panicked until the last day of admission. Until I found my name on a list. I prepared for admission a text of Theater by identity. I realized that I didn't know anything. That I was going to train in life. I had read Shakespeare, Lorca, Chekhov. But… acting was something else ", Dalma told
Clarín
in Carlos Paz seven years ago.
"I studied with people who attended a call center and lived in a pension. I saw the efforts of others. There were people who told me
'But you can study in New York!'. All I ask is time.
You can judge me, but pass time with me and you will realize who I am. "
The girl who lived her first two years in Italy.
First grade in Seville, the rest of the primary divided into two Argentine schools (Pueblo Blanco and San Eduardo).
At school the teachers hardly knew his voice
.
They advised theater classes before psychologist.
The game worked.
At the age of eight Dalma asked to participate in the casting of
Cebollitas,
the series written by Enrique Torres and Daniel Dátola.
"Let him stay alone if he has to stay, I don't want favors," Diego told Dátola.
She stood in line like any neighbor's son, she joined the cast and the producers asked her to leave double schooling.
Diego put the cry to the sky, Claudia, too.
They agreed to recordings after 4 p.m.
Dalma's first "job" had been at the Four Seasons.
She was six years old and was a maid for a day.
Made beds, served lunches.
The mission of the famous children campaign was to help children in vulnerable situations.
Dalma's salary was donated.
Diego felt proud and understood that "Pipi", as they say, was not acting: he was "absorbing what he did not live", Fiorito's non-life.
Formed with Hugo Midón, she appeared briefly in television products such as
Married with children,
and
Los Roldán.
We saw it in five Argentine films.
The first leading role in cinema was in 2008 (
La rabia)
, directed by Albertina Carri, but her image never went as far as in
Cebollitas
:
her face crossed 100 countries, including Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.
In theater she became a regular called by José María Muscari.
The director hired her, for example, for
Fuego entre mujeres
, a piece in which Dalma (an arsonist, a Sandro fan)
suffered from having to constantly insult Irma Roy
, her fictional grandmother.
He also starred in a version of
La casa de Bernarda Alba
, by Lorca, in a Muscari tone.
"She is a very methodical actress, very studied, responsible, committed, with an acting training that gave her discipline," Muscari describes her.
"He is noble, a whole mine, in words that does not bring problems working. He is clear about the place he occupies. He
always seemed to me a person with a very well-adjusted ego, very central
.
Diego and Dalma at the premiere of the one-man show "Hija de Dios".
Dalma achieved the theatrical effect with a one-man biographical
sketch
,
Hija de Dios
, by Erika Halvorsen, a string of astonishing anecdotes: from how at the Cannes Film Festival she cut off the "flirtation" with Salma Hayek to how Diego once sent her of penance to the bathroom and warned her that he could leave if she apologized.
The girl sat on the toilet for hours waiting for the pain to pass.
Outside, the one who was crying in spasms, like a child, was Diego.
That one-man show who forced her to rummage through the film archive Claudia lent her had the effect of past life therapy.
Diego flew specially from Dubai and sat in the third row of the Sha theater.
From the corner of her eye, Dalma focused on the stalls and saw Diego with his face soaked.
"When I thought that Dad had missed a lot of things, I watch videos and the guy is everywhere, school events, birthdays," he would admit on stage.
"I don't know how he was doing, but he was."
No other quinceañera achieved what Dalma did: they closed the Bombonera for their party.
In 2002, 300 guests enjoyed a white bubble, a huge tent tied to the Alberto J. Armando stadium lawn.
He played his favorite band, Los Piojos.
In 1999, on her birthday, Dalma had to remind Diego that she was a girl.
-
Do you want to see your gift?
Go to the garage, Dalma.
-
A car?
Dad, I'm 12 years old!
-
Ask your friends to handle it, little girl.
-
Dad, my friends are also 12 years old.
Dalma's 15th birthday at La Bombonera.
Her first boyfriend was from River.
At the time of presenting it, I was terrified.
"Do you want to come with us to see Boca, kid?"
Diego invited the boy. The boy was perplexed.
"The only thing I had asked you, Dalmita.
That it wasn't a chicken ... "
Today Dalma is married to Andrés, a Boca fan, the man in the planetary photo who hugs her, wiping her tears in the box.
At the age of 25, to try to understand one side of the phenomenon, he traveled to Naples.
"You will not be able to walk down the street," Diego had warned him.
Dalma settled in the house of the children of whoever was her nanny.
He tried anonymity, but with no luck.
They christened her Anna, but the "password" soon expired.
The unhinged Neapolitans spread the word, discovered her, made her go up, venerated her more than San Genaro and ended up organizing a 15-year-old style party in a shopping mall.
"I didn't even do anything, my dad did everything, please don't cry," he calmed them down.
He fled unable to bear such homage.
He grew up with his home address as the mantra of millions of Argentines.
Getting into a taxi was guessing the first words of the "tachero":
'To Segurola and Havana'?
He was eight years old when Don Diez, in his first game back to Boca Juniors, got involved with "El Huevo" Julio César Toresani, to end up quoting him -microphone through- in that corner.
Since then, thousands of people decided as a tourist plan to walk through that intersection of Devoto.
Dalma, who lived on the last three floors of that building, got used to this expedition of strangers.
If Giannina, alias Pompon, was for the father "the thistle", Dalma was "DNA Claudia", more "surly", capable of reprimanding him at 12: "Dad, you told it (about the addiction) to
Gente
magazine
and you didn't tell me. "
Diego recounted it in detail to the journalist Daniel Arcucci: "It's not that I didn't tell you, I was afraid, I told him.
I want to cut it, I swear I want to cut it, but there is no pill, no injection to cure this disease
" .
Cosmic keg.
The protagonist of the one-man show "Hija de Dios".
It was Dalma who many times placed Diego in reverse roles, more earthly, such as that of a desperate fan.
One afternoon he made him speed chasing the BackStreet Boys
, but the golden rule ended up being fulfilled.
Arrived at the hotel, it was the teenagers stars who pounced on the pursuer.
A militant of legal, safe and free abortion, Dalma usually explains with golden patience that motherhood "must be desired or it will not be."
On March 12, 2019, she became a mother of Rome
(love if the word is read backwards).
"It will not be anyone's scoop because we were able to keep the secret: 'We are going to be three'", he had shouted in networks in 2018. Just out of the belly, Rome, the imperial heir, received the membership card 256,045 from Boca Juniors.
"Did you like any of your dad's girlfriend?" Pampita asked him in an interview on camera, in 2017. The gesture speaks before the "no": "We met one of them in hospitalization ... There is also something very strong between my sister, dad and me, and a woman who comes from outside does not understand (...) If they start to compete with us they will lose ".
-What would you like your dad to do to get him cured?
-I tell him all the time that he has to learn to live calmly, but he tells me that he doesn't know, that he can't.
Dalma and Diego in South Africa, at the 2010 World Cup (AFP)
Dalma, "the burning-stages", according to her father, had the toupee of being Pele's daughter.
It happened in 2014, when Muscari summoned her for the work
Family of women
.
"My dad is going to kill you," he warned the playwright.
Diego did not see the piece.
The fact, a joke from the script, upset him.
Meat psychologist, more than one researcher psyche would dive in one fact:
little Benjamin Aguero Maradona, nephew of Dalma, revealed that "Aunt bother his feet, has a
phobia of feet."
The daughter of the god of the blessed "legs" cannot explain that rejection zone.
On November 27, 2020, Dalma spoke with her father through Instagram, the first virtual chat with the afterlife, shared with one million seven hundred thousand followers.
"I'll bring you daisies to decorate your gamer socks," he promised.
Daisies in stockings could become the world's most powerful sock brand.
Before the saddest Christmas, while the world read Dalma's furious tweets about the theories about the inheritance of the five children and that form of unexpected loneliness in which his father died, the result of Maradona's autopsy yielded a piece of information that Dalma had already known since she was a girl:
Diego's heart weighed too much, more than twice that of any mortal.
