Neapolitans are devoted to an assorted pantheon of idols, among which are not only Saints but also local artists and personalities. One of the most adored idols is Diego Armando Maradona, the famous Argentine soccer player, who redeemed Naples with its historic soccer successes of the 80’s. His rebellious and generous nature, as well as his ingenious game plays, made him a symbol for the city. After his death in 2020, his memory has turned into veneration.
