The game under the prosecutor’s lens

About Armando Izzo

The stairs of building D were interspersed with enormous puddles due to the infiltration of humidity. I went up to them two by two with the cases of water in my hand. It was the deliveries I hated the most. When my uncle, who owns a delicatessen in the neighborhood, sent me there, on the tenth floor, it was an ordeal. I always stopped for a few minutes in the quarter to rest and start playing with the Nokia, looking at the results of the matches. For me the alternative word was not contemplated. When you are born in Scampia you don’t know what’s out there, you don’t see other perspectives. For me the only word was survival. She told it firsthand Locker Room Chronicles.

The story of a ten-year-old boy who lost his father, died of leukemia, and is forced to do everything possible to help his mother make ends meet and feed the other three brothers. Drugs in the neighbourhood, a danger to be avoided at all costs, milk for dinner heated in a saucepan, football as redemption. And Mazzarri who bought him shoes for training during his retreat in Folgaria. When I cheer as if to say “I did it again”. They thought I was dead, but here in Monza I’ve risen again.
