Special visit of the president of Naples to the Vatican, presents the number 10

Special day for Aurelio De Laurentiis . The President of Naples and Giovanni Simeone were received by Pope Francis at the Agostinianum center on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of Scholas Occurrentes, an international organization created and led by the Pope to support poor communities around the world.

During the meeting, President De Laurentiis and Giovanni Simeone had the opportunity to spend a few moments with Pope Bergoglio, presenting the Holy Father with a personalized number 10 jersey and a ball autographed by the team.

The Pope reciprocated by donating a Benedict olive tree to be planted at future football events. De Laurentiis also gave the Pope a small cast of Maradona's foot as a metaphor for striking the world's injustices.
