Popolo Viola,

The Barone Family would like to express our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for your unwavering support during this profoundly challenging time. The passing of our beloved father has left a void in our lives that can never be filled. Your outpouring of love has been a source of immense comfort to us all and reminds us that we are not alone in our grief.

We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to President Rocco B. Commisso, his family, and the entire Fiorentina community. You allowed our father to live his dream, and for that, we are forever grateful. To the entire Fiorentina staff, continue to work with the same enthusiasm and passion as our father. To every coach and player, continue to honor the badge and fight relentlessly as our father did. 

To the Curva Fiesole, continue to be the lifeblood of the stadium. Your voices will echo his spirit in the sky. As we head into the first match without him, we ask you to immortalize Joe Barone.

Sempre Forza Viola,

Pietro, Gabriella, Salvatore e Giuseppe Barone
