After the recent flood that hit Romagna area, an important chain of solidarity started from all over Italy to help the population affected by this dramatic event.
As often happens in these unlucky moments, Italian supporters community is at the fore front to give his contribution of solidarity, under the radar of mass media.
Ultras ad other fans groups got in connection with Romagna local association, and with local fans groups, also with whom is a huge rival on the pitch, to bring their contribution to who is in need.
One example for all, the 20 people expedition of Pesi Massimi Como, a group of Como fans we already had the chance to talk about for their solidarity attitude. These lads organizes a money collection in the past days, contacted Cesena Ultras – definitely not their football friends – and under their coordination brought tools and men for a practical help.
Almost every Club ultras group – Mantova, Milan, Spal, Reggiana, Piacenza, Parma… – did or is about to do something similar, but you will find notice of it just in a quick post of local newspaper. This is not the kind of news about Ultras world that mass media want to highlight.
But this spontaneous solidarity, this practical attitude, this community feeling is exactly what we like about Football.
