Fiorentina start trust fund for Davide Astori's daughter | OneFootball

Fiorentina have confirmed that they have created a trust fund to aid Davide Astori’s baby daughter Vittoria.

The Viola captain shockingly passed away in his sleep the day before their match against Udinese in March, aged only 31.

He left behind his parents, girlfriend Francesca and their two-year-old daughter Vittoria.

And on Saturday, the Tuscan club announced they have set up the Davide Astori Trust to help provide his daughter with financial security.

A statement on the club website read:

“Fiorentina announces the creation of a trust fund named Davide Astori Trust for Vittoria Astori.

“The establishment of the Trust is intended to contribute to the economic security of Vittoria. The trust will be supervised and managed by the Astori family, together with her mother Francesca.

“With this gesture we are sure to also interpret the affection and respect of all those who loved Davide, on behalf of the team and the fans.”
