Create Teodoro was the chief of the 'Ndrina Create, Rizziconi subsidiary of the' Ndrangheta, Calabrian mafia, until his arrest in 2006. In the trial that led him to prison for ten years too many possessions were taken from him. Among them, a huge landfill waste managed in this part of Calabria .
Where once there was only a modest garbage field built 'calcetto' form very popular in Italy that is to play five against five dimensions similar to football on artificial turf but with a lighter ball.
"Unfortunately this is the third opening of the field," said Luigi Ciotti, a prominent cleric in the fight against the Mafia and promoter of the visit to Rizziconi. The fear has not disappeared in a town that is less than 10,000 inhabitants and where the shadow of 'boss' is still long.
Gesture Gattuso
Gennaro Gattuso does not play football for months by a vision problem that made him disappear also calls for Prandelli. But Gattusso, Calabrian by birth, returned to the issuing of the 'Nazionale' for Rizziconi visit.
The Calabrian football great reference in the last decade was in session, signed autographs for hundreds of kids who filled the bleachers and ended the partidillo refereeing training.
Gattuso's presence was only surpassed by the excitement generated by the said Don Ciotti, founder also of Libera, a network of associations that pursue social use of the property confiscated from the mafia. They were also the parents of Domenico Gabriele , the child killed two years ago in Crotone when he played football and ran into the crossfire between sectors of the 'Ndrangheta.
The party on Sunday gives way to the reality of life in Rizziconi. If that field will be used time will tell. If not, the visit will only be served to the conscience of the international. Marchisio's summed up: "At his side we felt small" .
