“I will always be grateful and my only regret is that I got to know you so late in the day. The bond between us, though, was immediately special. I appreciated Mazzone the professional and loved Carlo the man. You are blessed with a sensitivity that is beyond the norm, that of someone world class.
“I am pleased to see that all of Italy is celebrating you and you deserve this affection, because you are a true and authentic legend.
“I’ll leave you to celebrate with your family, as I know you are happy and I’ll soon be there to visit with a big hug. Happy birthday Carletto, you’re great.”
