ROMA – A scene of jealousy, inside a cinema, in front of dozens of people. And with a referee no less Maurizio Gasparri. On Tuesday evening, as football lovers around the world tuned in to Champions League matches, Claudio Lotito he decided to put on a show. Lashing out at a stupefied person Adriano Gallianiguilty according to him of having “betrayed” him by taking a position close to his arch-enemy in the hearing on football in the Senate, Gabriele Gravinathe president of the Football Federation with whom he has been in a tug-of-war that has become belligerent for years.
Lotito, attack on Galliani at the screening of the film on Ennio Doris
The scenario is almost institutional: the presentation of the film “There’s also tomorrow” on the life of Ennio Doris, organized by Francesco de’ Micheli and Maurizio Gasparri. Among the guests, Galliani and Gravina. Who, according to those who were present, followed the screening together. First, Galliani spoke about Berlusconi, getting emotional when talking about her relationship with him and with Ennio Doris, two figures to whom her life is closely linked. Before the end of the screening, Gravina left the room (noticed by several people). As soon as the lights came on, however, not even the time for applause in the room did Lotito, who had been absent until then, appear. The hint of Forza Italia and president of Lazio did not appear by chance.
Lotito to Galliani: “You defended Gravina”
He almost seemed to have a mission, Lotito. And as soon as he saw Galliani, his colleague in the Senate, where they both sit in the ranks of Forza Italia, he reached him and urged him: “You sided with Gravina, tell them you’re with them.” Extremely agitated tones, transfigured face. Galliani, remaining calm, tried to leave the room, asking the unexpected opponent to let him go to avoid participating in drama. But Lotito continued to stand between him and the exit: “Even in the commission today you defended him, I don’t forgive you for that.” Maurizio Gasparri also attempted to calm the Lazio president. Useless: “Galliani was a gentleman”, says those who were there, while “Lotito was a fury”,. And he didn’t even realize that the group he created was annoying some of those present. Which to define as surprised, shaken and even very annoyed, given the tone of the evening, is to use a pale euphemism.
