Mario Spedaliere, the 34-year-old Portici supporter seriously injured after the Puteolana-Portici football match in Pozzuoli, remains in very serious condition 19 days after the violence, according to Il Mattino.
His father described the situation as stable but unchanged in its gravity. Spedaliere was being treated in intensive care at Santa Maria delle Grazie hospital.
According to his father's account, Spedaliere was not in a pharmacological coma. He occasionally opened his eyes briefly but did not respond to stimulation and continued breathing through a ventilator.
The assault occurred after the match, during the return journey, amid clashes involving groups of Portici and Puteolana supporters. Sky TG24 reported that the 34-year-old was struck in the head, probably with a baseball bat, and that police opened an investigation into the assault.
Il Mattino reported that Emanuele Barretta remained in prison and Emanuele Alfano was under house arrest in connection with the investigation.
Individual responsibility for the assault remained subject to the ongoing investigation and judicial proceedings at the time of the report. His medical condition is time-sensitive and may have changed since that account.
