But the President said the Azzurri also play an important role on a social level.
“We are returning to Parma at a difficult time for our country,” Gravina told Sky Sport Italia. “But we are strong from having found the affection of millions of Italians.
“They see Mancini’s national team as a reason for joy, courage and rebirth. We want to contribute to Italy’s recovery above all from an emotional point of view.
“Italian football represents a therapy to contrast the disappointment and discouragement of recent months."
