For a long time he remained on the street, selling umbrellas and other objects in front of a supermarket in Milan, in the center, near the Policlinico. Then one day the owner of the supermarket - seeing him every day standing next to the windows of his shop - asked him: "If you want, I'll hire you." And so the life of Adam Gaye, 52 years old from Senegal, called Bobo (like Christian Vieri), changed.

Now he works as a clerk in the Carrefour Express supermarket on Via San Senatore, with a permanent contract and a fixed salary. And he explains to Corriere della Sera, which reports the story: "Now I can finally make my plans come true." For example, saving up enough money to go and visit his family and his three children, who remained in Senegal, whom he hasn't seen for years.

Giovanni Dossena, a 53-year-old of Sardinian origin, gave him the chance to change his life. "Adam," Dossena tells Corriere, "did his job seriously and always helped people who called him to carry heavy cases of water home. I even saw someone leave their credit card with him to go grocery shopping." "As soon as I had a free mailbox, I immediately thought of him," adds Dossena, who doesn't give up on jokes: "Of course, as a Juventus fan, if I had known about his nickname, perhaps I would have thought about it more carefully..."
