The match of the 37th game of Serie A between Fiorentina and Naples will probably decide the exit to Europe, however it is possible that the match in question will be on the air!
And that’s because the strong man of the “Partenopei”, Aurelio De Laurentiis requested that it not be held on Friday, May 17, as scheduled. The reason; The owner of the Neapolitans is preventive…
You see, the Friday the 17th is considered a Greek day in Italya superstition believed to reach back to Ancient Rome, and the fact that the Roman numeral for 17 is XVII – an anagram of the Latin VIXI, meaning “my life is over.”
Somehow, the quirky De Laurentiis expressed his desire to have the match moved to another datewith Italian media reporting that a possible solution would be to move it a day later, on the 18th of the month.
Of course, it is enough that Fiorentina also agrees, who will compete with him Olympic in the Conference League final on May 29.
