05 March 2021Donato Grande, the 'bomber' of Powerchair Football, meets his idol Zlatan Ibrahimovic on the stage of Sanremo 2021. The football player on an electronic wheelchair is present at Ariston to represent the Italian Paralympic sport.
Amadeus fulfills his dream as a great Milan fan: he makes him meet Ibra and makes him dribble on stage with him.
"You make better passes than my team's," Ibra said ironically.
The presence of Grande also becomes an opportunity for Amadeus to raise public awareness against architectural barriers that make life difficult for people with motor disabilities.
"Let's remember this when we park the car on the street corner, blocking the descents for wheelchairs," says the conductor and artistic director of the festival.
Respecting people with disabilities, not always and only blaming the institutions, it is also an architectural barrier to leave a car in front of a passage or a slide for wheelchairs for the disabled.
Donato Grande, originally from Trani, is a Milan fan and had the opportunity to dribble with Ibrahimovic using the electric wheelchair as if it were one of the legs to relaunch the ball, then receiving as a gift the autographed shirt of the AC Milan striker.
