CAMPOBASSO - Angelo, the last child to be rescued from the San Giuliano school ruins, will have his dream of meeting Alessandro Del Piero come true. The national team forward, in fact, will pay him a visit at the Cardarelli Hospital, in Campobasso. According to Forest Corps sources, tomorrow morning Del Piero is going from Pescara, where he is preparing for Italy's coming match, to the Molise capital by helicopter. The Juventus ace has already spoken to Angelo on the telephone, and has sent him an autographed jersey, which the child keeps by his side. Angelo, who has had his legs crushed during the earthquake, was the last child to be rescued from the ruins of the Jovine school, Friday morning. When he came around, the following Sunday, his first thought was about Juventus, and he asked a doctor how had the match gone.
