President Urbano Cairo and the entire Torino Football Club, "stunned and deeply saddened by this terrible news, gather with affection around the Pistis family in memory of dear Ismael Pistis, torn from the affection of his loved ones in a car accident on Easter Sunday at just eight years old."
This is what we read on the official Torino website, regarding the child who was involved in a road accident yesterday on the A21 in the Asti area, while he was riding his motorbike with his father and his mother in the car behind, on the way back to the Piedmont capital after a trip.
"Ismael," says Toro, "was a young footballer for Torino Football Club in the Under 8 category. A happy child who never failed to smile, capable of spreading joy and lightheartedness to everyone every day. Every child is special, and Ismael was just that on and off the pitch: always polite, orderly, and respectful."
He will be missed by many, many, the Club concludes, "and will always be in the hearts of Jacopo, Andrei, Luca, Stefano, Thomas G., Hamed, Thomas L., Ivan, Federico, Gabriele, Samuel, and Diego, his teammates with whom he shared everything, hardship and fun, victories and defeats. Among the managers and coaches who knew him, his genuine passion for Torino will always live on, the same Torino he loved so much that he transformed his bedroom into a corner of the Curva Maratona. To his mother, Signora Antonia, his father Marco, all his relatives, and his many friends and acquaintances, our condolences and fraternal embrace from the entire Torino world in this moment of unspeakable pain."
