A Red and White Dream: From Bari to the Metropolitano
Giulio Modesti, an Atlético member, has spent half his life traveling from Bari to support his team. His passion is so great that the club has become a driving force in his life.
Recently, Giulio fulfilled a special dream: taking his 86-year-old mother, Brigida Tondolo, to the Metropolitano to experience firsthand his love for Atleti. Brigida, who had always wondered about her son’s constant travels, found the answers during the match against Barcelona.
Although the result was not as expected, Brigida was able to feel the unique atmosphere of the stadium and the unconditional passion of the Red and White fans. Giulio proudly commented that his mother has always been aware of his trips and Atleti’s matches, knowing the names of all the players.
The visit to Madrid was unforgettable, celebrating Brigida’s birthday surrounded by Atlético friends and experiencing the magic of the Metropolitano up close. After the experience, Brigida finally understood Giulio’s deep feeling for Atlético.
‘We all have a place where we are happy. Yours is here. You would always choose Atleti,’ she said, confirming that she would no longer question his trips to Madrid. This story is a clear example of how Atleti can unite people and create even stronger family bonds, demonstrating that the Red and White feeling knows no borders.
