The 2006-born motorcyclist spoke with Head Coach Luciano Spalletti, the Head of the Delegation Gianluigi Buffon and a few players - including his friend Alessandro Bastoni - before heading to Misano, where this weekend he will take part in the MotoGP World Championship.

Before leaving Coverciano, Lunetta was given a personalised Azzurri shirt - which he will take with him to the Grand Prix - printed with his surname and number 58, the same number printed on his motorcycle, which was also the same number as his idol, Marco Simoncelli.
