Three Genoani, three American cities, one Grifone. And a microphone that has known no filters since 2022.
FIRST EPISODE · 14 JANUARY 2022
The “Genoani si resta” podcast was born after the pandemic from an idea by Stefano Gaggero, immediately embraced by Matteo Cevasco and Francesco Talarico. Since its first episode, every week has brought the story of another Genoano living abroad.
Then came the WhatsApp chat, where Genoa — and much more — is discussed practically around the clock, and the Genoa Club “Genoani si resta”, whose banner is displayed at the Luigi Ferraris stadium for every Grifone home match.
THE THREE VOICES
1970THE IDEA · U VEGIU
Charlotte · North Carolina
Born in 1970 in Bolzaneto — although his wife has explained that it is not quite Genoa — he is the group’s “u vegiu”. Certainly not the wisest, but definitely the one with grey hair.
A lifelong enthusiast of referees and the Italian national team, he moved to North Carolina in 2013: the Bolzaneto of the East Coast. He lives in Charlotte, where apparently there is even another Genoano.
1974THE VOICE · UNFILTERED
New Jersey · United States
Born in 1974, Genoese and a Genoano for 102 generations, he is the podcast’s voice — rigorously unfiltered.
Distinguishing feature: he hates everyone, including a few Genoani. Those who know him well insist that he barks a great deal but does not bite. He moved to the United States in 2004, first to New York and now New Jersey, where in his spare time he serves as Costco’s unofficial brand ambassador.
1981THE YOUNG · SOUL
Miami · Florida
Born in 1981, Genoese and raised in Recco on kilos of focaccia al formaggio, he is the podcast’s “young” soul.
Whenever he joins, nobody knows which usually unwatchable football shirt he will be wearing. He moved to the United States in 2012, lives in Miami, and is the founder and president of Genoa Club Miami.
THE PODCAST
Every episode begins in a different city and always returns to the same place: Genoa, the Grifone, and the feeling of home shared by those who live far away.
