The Viola's 31-year-old centre-back passed away last Sunday after a stroke overnight.
Although the funeral was announced at 10am, from 7am, hundreds of fans arrived in front of the Santa Croce Cathedral Square to pay tribute to the player they loved. Order, no noise, everyone shows condolences to Davide Astori.
The chants of "great captain" and "you are our captain forever" took the Astori-powered car from Artemio Franchi Stadium to Santa Croce Cathedral. On their Twitter pages, Fiorentina and Cagliari leave a message on the day Astori will step into the world on the other side:
"In memory of Davide Astori, Fiorentina and Cagliari will forever hang the number 13 shirt."
Before joining The Viola, Astori played for Cagliari for a long time (2008-2016). At the Italian Central Club, Astori left many good impressions. Therefore, he is always a symbol of the city of Sardegna.
