"Ciao Grande Asto, that's what I used to call you when we met, whether it was for a match between our teams or a national team gathering. A genuine smile and a genuine hug, a loyal, honest and humble person. How many times we laughed, joked and rejoiced together. How many chats we had sitting next to each other at the table, or along the corridor leading to the rooms at Coverciano, or on the pitch, and even in the room. “Come on Leo, spread it out like you know how,” you used to say to me every training session during tactics. With that smile that never ended and that showed how good you were inside. You've gone to play up there, and I know you'll always do so with a big smile. The one that always set you apart. You are a great friend of mine. I will miss you."
