This tour was not actually planned: The Italian national soccer team drove through Rome in an open double-decker bus on Monday evening and was celebrated by the enthusiastic fans on the streets. Winning the European Football Championship and beating England in the final had thrown the whole country into a frenzy of joy. The triumphal procession was initially canceled out of fear of the corona virus. In the end, the decision was made to take the bus. The players are also said to have been in favor. The news of the trip spread quickly. And the Italian fans were excited again. The Italian soccer heroes had previously been received by President Mattarella and Prime Minister Draghi.
