The love for Italy and Italians

An occasion that had Gioia del Colle as its protagonist, which led many to want to get closer to the star who did not deny himself and wanted to interact after the visit to his family's birthplace. An extraordinary interest has arisen around the Stallone family of the past and present, so much so that the Apulian town has given rise to a real “Stallion day”.

Excited and moved, Sly gave a beautiful speech from the stage set up in the main square of the Apulian town, exalting his origins, the family of his grandfather Silvestro, from whom he took his name and the close bond he has always had with Italy so much so call one of his splendid Sistine daughters, like the chapel frescoed by Michelangelo.

Sylvester Stallone in the Vatican

The American actor, after having been in Puglia, returned to the capital where he had already been last year, paying homage to Mattarella and visiting the Ferrari garage.

A few hours ago he was welcomed together with his entire family during a private audience even by Pope Francesco in the Vatican. The amused Pontiff told him: «We grew up with your films". And he replied to the Pontiff: «Ready to box?»
