Other attendants were the Vice-Mayor of Ixelles, the representative of the Italian Embassy in Brussels, and many other Italian and European representatives.
The official delegation was also joined by ten or more Belgian Lazio-fans. And Lazioland to.
After some speeches by all official representatives, the tombstone was revealed to the crowd present their, under a large applause.
As the greatgrand-son, Mr. Pollini mentioned in his speech, from today on, S.S. Lazio is not only an Italian sporting heritage, but an European too, thanks to Luigi Bigiarelli.
Grazie Luigi, 9-1-1900 will always be remembered.
