TRIESTE. Alessandro Talotti He did not make it. The just forty-year-old former blue high-jumper, for months struggling with an unforgiving disease (and which he had had the courage and strength to tell), he died last night in his Udine.
Sensitive man, and athlete of great class, Alessandro he had recently become the father of little Elio (just six months), the result of love for the Trieste skater Silvia Stibilj, with whom he had formed a single family unit, whose photos on social media can only arouse tenderness, and today also emotion .
The memory of Fidal: «It was a great athlete, Talotti. His 2.32 shot in Glasgow, in blue jersey, under the roof of the historic Kelvin Hall Arena, at the end of January 2005, was the technical peak; but of his career, characterized by two participations in the Olympic Games (with the twelfth final place in Athens 2004), and the near podium at the 2002 European Championships in Munich, above all, in those who knew him, the feeling of lightness that he knew how to give remains. both with the flight over the bar and with his smile ».
A minute of meditation was observed before the start of the Serie A match between Udinese and Sampdoria. During the commemoration, images of some sporting achievements of the Friulian athlete were first projected on the screens of the Dacia Arena and then a large photo of him with the words “Mandi”, the classic farewell greeting of the Udine people.
