Arezzo, the Tuscan Serie C club, has unveiled its new jersey, and both the sleeve and the sides feature the Madonna del Conforto, linked to the town since 1796 and a Christian miracle (the Virgin appeared after the locals prayed to her to put an end to the tremors of an earthquake). This is the first time that a religious figure has featured on a soccer shirt design. Don Alvaro Bertelli, the local parish priest, commented mischievously on this novelty on Arezzo TV: “I’m an exorcist, and what’s more, it’s a move by the devil, who’s always after Madonna!
