For everyone he was a hero, the one who brought the joy of the first “Scudetto” to Naples and who brought the name of this particular city to the international sports world. Everywhere there is a "Diego-mania". Every corner of the city bears witness to the passing of the "Pibe de Oro".

Maradona was present in many places: from murals on the facades, to the fireworks called "il Pallone (the ball) di Maradona", from all kinds of merchandising and souvenirs to the cake with Maradona, from poems dedicated to the idol to the very same statuettes of the traditional "Bethlehem" or Neapolitan manger.
