He is hospitalized at San Raffaele Hospital in Milan in a very serious condition, Fiorentina general manager Joe Barone, after falling ill around 3 p.m. yesterday while in his hotel in Cavenago di Brianza, a few hours before the Viola's match with Atalanta at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo. Shock in the Tuscan team's group, and the club immediately asked that the match not be played, which in fact was "postponed to a date to be determined", as it appeared on the stadium's big screens around 5 p.m., an hour before the kickoff whistle. Barone suffered a cardiac arrest and was rescued by Fiorentina staff, particularly the company doctor, who immediately called for help. At the time, Fiorentina was in training camp at the Devero Hotel and was awaiting transfer to Bergamo for the match. The condition of Barone - a U.S. citizen - immediately appeared to be very serious: for this reason, the 118 sent a self-medicine and ambulance to the area, with which Fiorentina's general manager was transferred to San Raffaele Hospital in Milan in code red. The executive is hospitalized in intensive care.
