Francesco Totti and Alessandro Del Piero were given a heroโs welcome as they made their way onto the pitch of the Stadio Paolo Mazza for the Operazione Nostalgia event on Saturday evening.ย
Operazione Nostalgia, an online platform aimed at promoting the positive values associated with football and sport in general, are hosting an exhibition match in Ferrara on Saturday night, with Totti and Del Piero among the star names taking to the field.ย
Totti, who recently rolled back the years at Old Trafford whilst featuring in the Soccer Aid charity game, was the first of the two to emerge from the tunnel, to a thunderous roar from the sell-out crowd.ย
Del Piero followed soon after, to an equally voluminous reception.
