00:00The people of Naples celebrated the 65th birthday of the late Diego Maradona in a special way on Thursday.
00:11They took photos with flags emblazoned with Maradona's name and portraits when the statue of the Argentine football legend rolled through the city.
00:19The statue, sculpted by Domenico Sepe, left its home at the Maradona Museum in the Spanish quarters for a day-long tour of the city that still calls him its king.
00:35This resident said Maradona was a true symbol of Naples, while another fan said the legend came second after San Gennaro in Naples.
00:43He said Maradona united the people of Naples and Italians from the north.
00:49He said Maradona is not dead, he's dead, but the soul lives within all the Napoletans and all the people who love him.
00:54For me, for years, I celebrate the birthday of Diego.
00:57He's always present, and then the beautiful thing is about the people, the people.
01:01The Maradona Museum is the first museum dedicated to the legend who died in November 2020, at the age of 60.
01:08Maradona is revered by Napoli fans, after he helped lead the local club Napoli to win the Serie A in 1987 and 1990, the Coppa Italia in 1987 and the UEFA Cup in 1989, making it the most successful period in the club's history.
