Abu Dhabi – Metti una sera a cena, a poet paid to the music and two world champions now that a few decades ago made the dream of an entire Country. In a field that is neutral more neutral you can, Abu Dhabi, united Arab Emirates, on the campus of New York University. Francesco De Gregori is sitting in the middle between Marco Tardelli and Paul “Pablo” Smith. Professors not so for the case of a thousand students from all over the world with a big dream, to become ambassadors and change the world. We talk about football and discipline, business and poetry, hatred and tolerance. But the speech can not help but slip back in time and go back to that torrid summer in the Spanish 1982 in which a group of Italian footballers, against everything and everyone, she went home with a world Cup that was missing from almost half a century.
