Mourning in the Gattuso house, her sister Francesca did not make it
Urgently hospitalized after an illness in the intensive care of the hospital in Busto Arsizio, today Schiavonea died at just 37 years of age. Severe mourning at Gattuso's home. Francesca, the sister of the former footballer and coach of Napoli, has passed away.
The young woman suffered from a rare disease to cure which some emergency surgeries were not enough. Francesca Gattuso, barely 37 years old, had been hospitalized in intensive care in Varese last February, on the evening when the Napoli coach deserted the post-game match against Sampdoria to visit her in hospital. On that occasion, an illness had forced the emergency hospitalization with "red code". The lockdown and the difficulties in moving between the regions prevented Rino from being able to stay alongside his sister who he heard on the phone daily.
And so, as on that occasion, Gattuso learned the tragic news on the field. In this case while he was directing his team's training in Castel Volturno.
