The most emotional Heart Match was the one with Israelis and Palestinians

"It was perhaps the most beautiful Match of the Heart, certainly the most emotional." Gianluca Pecchini, the driving force behind the Italian National Singers' matches, is certain: "In the stands were two Nobel Peace Prize winners (Yasser Arafat and Shimon Peres) with President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi. On the pitch, Israelis and Palestinians. It was an attempt to bring people together, because sport has this in its DNA. An operation like this would be impossible today." At the Olimpico, among others, were Sean Connery, Pelé, and Baggio. "A day to remember, I dream of more like it. And dreams sometimes come true."
