Stefano Tacconi, the former Juventus and national team goalkeeper, was discharged yesterday from the Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza hospital in San Giovanni Rotondo, where he had been hospitalized since 21 June to continue his rehabilitation after the cerebral hemorrhage which had affected him in April 2022.


Before leaving, in the company of his wife Laura and son Andrea – they report from the hospital founded by San Pio – Tacconi met all the operators of the Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine unit, greeting doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and healthcare personnel.


“Stefano is a strong man – explained the head doctor Domenico Intiso – he faced the rehabilitation process with such tenacity. He was a stimulus and an example for others and the results were visible”. “He always welcomed the fact that many people approached him for photos with him or to have a chat – underlined Michele Gravina, physiatrist, who got to know him in recent months – This human side of his has continued to improve over the years. time. I joked a lot with him about our different footballing faiths. He always told me with a smile: ‘For me, being a Juventus player, an Inter doctor should have happened to me’.”


Laura Speranza, Stefano’s wife, thanked the entire Casa Sollievo hospital. “I thank everyone, the doctors, the physiotherapists, the nurses, the socio-health workers and the religious who have always been close to us. Stefano will return home to Milan where he will continue his rehabilitation. But he returns with a great emotional and physical charge. In San Giovanni Rotondo we truly found a world of emotions, of help, of strength. Both from science and from faith, with Padre Pio, to whom, as you know, we have always been very devoted. We return to Milan with all this in the heart and mind.”
