The grandson persuaded “Trap” The son of Trapattoni's eldest daughter Alessandra, a communications expert, persuaded the celebrity grandfather to join Instagram. This was followed by Twitter and Facebook.

“Grandfather writes the texts, I help him with the photos, but basically he does almost everything himself. Together we published photos and short videos. At first people didn't think it was the real Trapattoni, but now we're flooded with contacts," said the grandson.

He was impressed by his grandfather's popularity. "People love him, many like to remember the times when he was still training, and it's not just supporters of his former clubs Inter and Juve," says Felici.
