<p><strong>MILAN</strong> - All the faces that feature in the 2019/2020 Inter Club subscriber campaign.</p> <p>The first chapter is dedicated to the ‘Alfiere’. They are the people who manage the banners inside the stadium, proudly showing the names of the different clubs.</p> <p>Our star in this category is Enrico Cuaz. He was born in 1966 in Switzerland and grew up in Italy before moving to Paris.</p> <p>A traveller, a father, an ‘Alfiere’, but an Interista above all else.</p> <p>“I fell in love with Inter at the age of seven," he explains. "It seems absurd but my love for the Beneamata was born at the Stadio Comunale in Turin for a match between Juventus and Inter. I was down the side with my dad and for the whole of the first half, I was watching Giacinto Facchetti running all the way up and down the flank. There, I understood that I loved that shirt and those colours.</p> <p>“In 1982, I moved to France where after a week, I got to know the person who would become the first member for the establishment of Inter Club Parigi. When we met, only a few words were needed before we understood that Inter was what brought us together.</p> <p>"Over 30 years ago, it wasn’t easy to follow Inter from thousands of kilometres away and I missed the black and blue. I remember that I had a little radio that I used to follow the matches but it didn’t get a very good signal and I’d have to move to a higher spot. At times I’d go to Montmartre, other Sundays I’d invite myself to a friend’s house. She lived on the eighth floor obviously!</p> <p>"As an ‘Alfiere’, I’ve been on loads of trips. The one I remember most fondly was the first organised with Inter Club on 11 November 1984. There was a real hunger for football in Paris and 50 of us took the train for Milan. After leaving San Siro, we were ecstatic after seeing Inter beat Juventus 4-0 with a Rummenigge brace and goals from Ferri and Collovati.</p> <p>“I remember a lot of the teams but Gigi Simoni’s is the one that sticks with me the most. It was a perfect mix of characters. From Ronaldo to Pagliuca, Colonnese to Moriero and Bergomi. They were fighters and quality people.</p> <p>"What does it mean to bee a part of Inter Club? Thinking of my own story, I’d say that it means being a part of a community where people have different backgrounds and lifestyles but a great passion that brings us all together. For me, this is what Inter is. It’s passion and something that I feel really strongly inside me.</p> <p>"I like to introduce myself as an Interista. I’m a father, a traveller, an ‘alfiere’ but very much an Interista." </p>
