Casa Spalletti, between shirts, ostriches, donkeys and a giant croissant

There are the animals, from the dog Diana to the ostriches Giallino and Blackino (in the colours of the Avane team, yellow and black), from the Scottish heifers to the mare Astra, from the Amiata donkey to the peacocks and the fallow deer. There are the vineyards, from which the five wines are produced, all of which have football names (the reds Bordo campo, Contrastro and Rosso Diretto, the rosé Tra le linee, the white Rabona), the lakes and the woods. But there are also paddle and tennis courts, a fully equipped gym, a large room called 'La cabina dei ciuchi neri' where the Azzurri have also occasionally stopped by to celebrate in groups. And there is a crucifix made by welding eight hundred nails, which the coach wanted to dedicate to his brother Marcello who passed away some time ago. The family estate is called 'La Rimessa', in Montaione, near Certaldo, which is Spalletti's hometown. It is 50 hectares within which there is also a skate with the colors of Napoli, balls hanging from the olive trees and a shelter that says a lot about the personality of the coach: a collection of hundreds of shirts (the largest is that of Francesco Totti), Davide Astori's boots, original newspaper clippings from when Spalletti began coaching. A study with a glass window from which the landscape helps concentration, not far from the mega croissant given by a fan, the reconstruction of the Maradona mural or the painting depicting the scream of

Spalletti in Munch style. And also a large collection of 45 rpm vinyl records, including that of 'Piccolo Uomo' by Mia Martini, a sofa surrounded by the silhouettes of Diabolik and Eva Kant, another private passion of the mister. And many memories scattered along paths, hedges and mangers that Spalletti loves to take care of personally, sometimes going out with a raincoat in the rain. The farmer coach knows where to take refuge when he wants to think.
