The government will help all entities that need to build a stadium «but there is a particular meaning here. This has something more." Words from the Minister of Sport, Andrea Abodi, in front of the funeral home set up for Gigi Riva at the Unipol Domus, the temporary facility that hosts Cagliari's matches.
To the right of the government representative Meloni, in the city to pay homage to the myth, there is the gutted ruin of the old Sant'Elia. Abodi points to it with his chin: «We have the past and we want it to be transformed into the future». And he assures that the government «will give all its support. I hope that the push of feelings will also help speed up the process. Eight years is too long."
The future, for Abodi, is where the old stadium is now: «The new one must be built there, to consecrate the memory of Gigi Riva». Which will give the plant its name.
