Barone, remembered by Saputo and Fenucci

“In recent years, I had met Joe Barone several times, alongside Rocco Commisso: the news of his illness and then his death, so sudden, so premature, left me stunned and bewildered.” Joey Saputo expresses his condolences for the passing of the General Manager of Fiorentina through bolognafc.it. “I wish to extend my deepest condolences, also on behalf of all Bologna FC 1909, to the Barone family, Rocco Commisso, and Fiorentina.”

“With Joe’s passing, I lose a dear friend,” declares CEO Claudio Fenucci. “We had met for professional reasons, but over the years, our conversations had become daily. Football loses an excellent professional, an executive who fought for a modern vision of our sport, but above all, a person of impeccable ethics. In these terrible hours, I virtually embrace his family and Fiorentina.”
