In a heartfelt update for fans of SSC Napoli, Valter De Maggio, a prominent journalist, spoke on Radio Goal, assuring listeners about the health of his colleague Paolo Del Genio. Del Genio, who has been absent from his shows for several weeks due to health concerns, is reportedly on the mend and eager to return to the airwaves.
On April 17, 2025, during his segment on Kiss Kiss Napoli, De Maggio shared the good news after a long conversation with Del Genio. "This morning, I had the chance to have a nice long chat with Paolo Del Genio. I bring you good news. Paolo is doing well, he is recovering, and he asked me to tell you that he can't wait to return to his place and engage with you, the Napoli fans, about the happenings of the team," De Maggio stated.
De Maggio emphasized Del Genio's positive attitude, noting, "He is very serene, and he even asked me to wish all his followers a happy Easter." This message of positivity comes at a time when fans have been worried about Del Genio's health, as he has not appeared in any broadcasts for several weeks.
While the news is encouraging, De Maggio was clear that Del Genio's return will not be immediate. "The times won't be very short, and it's right for me to tell you that. Paolo is eager to return, but it will take some time," he explained. Initially, Del Genio will participate from a studio that will be set up at his home, before eventually returning to the studio from Dimaro.
The reassurance from De Maggio is a welcome relief for fans who have been missing Del Genio's insights and commentary on Napoli's performances. Known for his passionate and knowledgeable takes on the team, Del Genio has built a strong rapport with supporters over the years.
As Napoli continues to navigate the season, the anticipation for Del Genio's return grows. His ability to connect with fans and provide in-depth analysis has made him a beloved figure in the world of sports journalism.
In conclusion, while the wait for Del Genio's full return may be longer than some would hope, the positive update from Valter De Maggio offers a glimmer of hope. Fans can look forward to hearing from him soon, albeit from the comfort of his home for the time being.
