Bardi says goodbye to Palermo: his wife’s message on the eve of Mantua-Palermo

News:

A short, concise message, yet one with strong symbolic meaning. Ilaria Nigiotti, Bardi’s wife, bid farewell to Palermo in an Instagram story, sharing black-and-white images of the city and the life she’s lived in over the past few months, accompanied by a simple and direct phrase: “Thank you, Palermo.”

The post comes on the eve of Mantova-Palermo, a match to be played at the Martelli Stadium. This will mark the goalkeeper’s first appearance as an opponent, having joined the Lombardy club on loan this transfer window. This temporal coincidence makes the farewell even more significant, symbolically closing one chapter while opening another.

The images Nigiotti posted depict glimpses of the city, moments of everyday life, and private moments, without further commentary or explanation. A concise thank you, shared on social media, discreetly expresses the bond forged with Palermo during her time with Palermo.
