For Armando Zamparini one thinks of a sudden illness: that day he had to start working for a multinational. The mother Laura Giordani: “My angel is gone”. Legal note: He died in his apartment
My angel Armando is gone. The message, sent in the middle of the night, of Laura Giordani, mother of the fifth child offormer president of Palermo, Maurizio Zamparini. The heart of Armando, 23, stopped on Thursday: to find the boy’s lifeless body in his room in the apartment London, where he had lived for a few years
, it was the maid who immediately raised the alarm. Until a few hours earlier he had led his usual life: a job had to start that very day with an important multinational together with his roommate with whom he had also shared the master’s degree in London. A new adventure cut short before it could begin.

The causes of death were not disclosed, medical investigations are underway: among the most accredited hypotheses it is confirmed a sudden illness which would have caused cardiac arrest. It is not clear whether or not the boy suffered from previous pathologies, he had suffered from asthmatic bronchitis ten years ago, but it is not clear whether there is a connection with the death. Armando passed away peacefully in his apartment in Mayfair, they merely write the family’s lawyers in a note.

The 23-year-old’s mother sent a message at 2.40 am on Sergio Abbate’s phone, the designer who had established relations with Palermo at the time when Zamparini was the owner of the club. I spent hours looking for a contact, but probably Maurizio and Laura were flying. At 1pm I finally exchanged a few words: they only told me that Armandino, as we all called him, had been found lifeless in his London home. Perhaps due to ischemia.

I met Armando three years ago when I went to visit my daughter in England remember Massimo Cellino, owner of Brescia. I remember an exuberant boy, full of life, well integrated into London life.

Nicola Salerno, sports director with extensive experience between Serie A and Premier League, does not hide his emotion. My son Andrea completed his entire school career with Armando at the Trieste International School. I am devastated, they were like brothers. Our families have always dated and I myself worked for Palermo for a certain period. I don’t know how anyone can survive such a bereavement.

Armando had graduated in area management, he attended a master’s degree in the United Kingdom and worked in the family businesses keeping the relations between Italy with China and Great Britain. Zamparini and his companion, destroyed, left for London where the consul general keeps them informed on the developments of the investigation. The outcome of the autopsy and toxicological tests is now awaited to clarify the contours of a death that at the moment has no explanation.
–
Piero Grasso, the former public prosecutor, a friend of Zamparini and a frequenter of the club’s retreats also in Bad Kleinkircheim, the Austrian town where the team carried out the summer preparation work, dismayed. The players trained on the main court and I kicked four kicks on the side court with Maurizio’s children and grandchildren. What happened is an unnatural event: parents cannot see a child die.
