Once upon a time there were wags. Or the Wives And Girlfriends , an acronym used to describe the wives and girlfriends of footballers. And they are still there: hot or cold, they don't miss a match at the stadium, they are framed in the stands of the Unipol Domus, they mingle with the fans, they greet, smile and cheer when someone in the rossoblù shirt scores. But it's also not unusual to see them strolling in the city center, when boyfriends and husbands are busy training or away.
In Cagliari, the title of queen of the wags, without taking anything away from the others, seems to be in the hands of Rosi Pesce, 36, wife of Fabio Pisacane who, after wearing the rossoblù shirt, is now a technical collaborator of the Cagliari youth sector. Arrived in Sardinia in 2015, Rosy and Fabio decided to live in the capital and here to raise their three children: AndreaJr, Francesco and Matias.
«We chose Cagliari to live there, to say that I like it as a city would be an understatement – confides Rosy -. I arrived here when my first son AndreaJr was 7 months old, now he's 8 years old. My life as a mother practically started here, then Francesco and Matias also arrived. We have been together with Fabio since 2005 and, because of his work, we have toured many cities, but none has managed to capture our hearts like Cagliari has done ".
His almost 5,000-follower Instagram profile is full of photos of his family, but there are also those of his holidays in his homeland. «I am very attached to my land and to my Naples, but when I return I feel homesick for “Cagliari”: the way of life here is incomparable» , adds Rosy Pesce who crosses her fingers for Cagliari-Spal: «Now we cannot I can no longer do without going to the stadium to watch the match, also because my children impose it on me, they are little rossoblù hearts».
And if Lady Pisacane holds the scepter, at her side there can only be Elisa Aliotta, companion of Captain Leonardo Pavoletti and Aurora Betti, wife of Simone Aresti. Friends are a steady couple together at the Unipol Domus.
Elisa, from Livorno like her partner, 33 years old, 6.5 thousand followers on Instagram, where she talks about her life as a full-time mother of Giorgio and Brando. Warrior and stubborn last year, when Cagliari was fighting not to relegate , she was the one to bring together all the rossoblù wags and "lead" them to Salerno to support the team during Salernitana-Cagliari and thus surprise boyfriends and husbands.
And Elisa too fell in love with the city, its sun and its people. Leo Pavoletti himself, when he announced last summer that he would also play in Sardinia in Serie B, said: «And whoever takes Elisa away from Cagliari now, doesn't want to hear about it».
And then there's Aurora Betti, 30, from Abruzzo, the most famous of the rossoblù wags because she comes from the world of television: in the past she participated in Maria De Filippi's programs. Full-time influencer (364,000 followers on Instagram) , she also works as a personal shopper and manages a luxury villa in the south of the island on Airbnb. Aurora, Diego's mother, not only fell in love with Sardinia, but also married a Sardinian: Simone Aresti, in fact, was born and raised in Carbonia . Tattoo lover and author of the book “Is You Mom?”, she had a tattoo on her wrist with the number 105 which she claimed was the number of her room in the orphanage, where she spent her childhood before being adopted.
Instead, Cagliari chose Ivana Martinovic, creative director, to marry Boris Radunovic, protector of the rossoblù poles, at Palazzo Bacaredda at the end of December . And, still in the capital, Monika will give birth to their first daughter in a few months.
Private social profiles, like almost all the other rossoblù wags, in addition to Ivana, there are also Alessia (Lapadula), Valeria (Mancosu), Deborah (Deiola) and all the others, full-time mothers and wives, super reserved and not very social … Peek on Instagram to believe!
