"A truly wonderful person, whom I was fortunate enough to know, we will miss him. I wish there were more like him."
"Well, I'm thinking of the huge investment in a wonderful facility like Viola Park. It's a facility worthy of those we don't have in Italy, and for which we're behind English football. The hope is that all Italian clubs can follow this example."
Rocco Commisso died on January 16 at age 76, prompting shock across Italian football. Fiorentina produced an emotional win against Bologna after his passing. AC Milan CEO Giorgio Furlani paid tribute, calling Commisso a wonderful person who will be missed. Furlani emphasized Commisso’s significant investment in Viola Park and noted the facility sets a standard Italy currently lacks compared with English clubs. Furlani expressed hope that other Italian clubs will emulate Viola Park. Commisso had once been close to acquiring AC Milan in 2018, but that deal did not materialize.
