Former Napoli striker, two-time Italian champion with Maradona, Andrea Carnevale, who has been a talent scout for Udinese for years, chooses "Corriere della Sera" and the book "Destino di un bomber", written with Giuseppe Sansonna to tell the family tragedy in which he was the protagonist when he was a teenager.
" My father was very jealous, an atmosphere of terror reigned at home, I was there when my mother was slapped, beaten. Insults. Until the morning of September 25, 1975 ," he tells "Corriere della Sera."
" He woke up, took the axe. He went to his mother who was washing clothes in the river near the house. He went to kill her. I ran there, collected my mother's blood and went to the carabinieri: "Do you see the blood now ?"
Andrea Carnevales's story continues: " My mother never reported him because she was afraid that something would happen to her children," the former attacker says with regret. "Two years after the murder, when I was 16, I went to see my father in prison. I wanted to look him in the eye, he had taken everything from me. And there I was, and I hugged him. Tightly. In a way, I forgave him, knowing that I was facing a very sick man. He was schizophrenic. He was never treated, and a few years later he committed suicide by jumping out of a window in front of my eyes. For many years I lived with the pain, but also with the fear that I was like him. No, I am not like him. I understood this when I saw him. And it was the first step towards liberation ."
Despite his sporting successes, Andrea Karnevales' life has not been easy even as an adult. The end of his marriage to Paola Perego did not go without consequences.
" Do you know that it was Maradona who introduced me? He liked her and asked for her phone number, he wrote it on a piece of paper. I stole that paper from her trouser pockets - he tells "Corriere della Sera" again -. Then the love ended, there was another person, but I insisted on continuing for the sake of the children. I didn't want them to grow up as orphans. And yet they thought that I ran away from home, that I abandoned them. Me, an orphan, making my children orphans. Do you understand? Terrible, as if I were living my drama again. I respected Paola, but I myself felt disrespected, so many lies ".
