The message went viral and clarion He did what is usually done in these cases: he went to check. He went to see Diego.

Bella Vista Cemetery

The private cemetery of Nice view it is found at San Miguelin the western part of Greater Buenos Aires, a 20-minute drive from General Paz. It has 13 hectares and is divided into 8 sectors. Outside, murals dedicated to Maradona announce that this is a very special place, unlike any other. Despite all the emotional charge that an environment of these characteristics can generate, the green space and the peace dampen the melancholy.

It’s not a public place and has a strict enough policy to avoid curious people trying to get close to the Ten: visitors must explain the reason for their presence at the entrance.

During the week the movement is very calm, especially if it’s hot or this time of year when many enjoy their holidays. The scenery changes a lot during the weekends. And the obligatory question, sooner or later, is almost always the same: “Do you know where Diego’s grave is?” Or “the tomb of the Ten?”, to create some complicity with the informant on duty. “When entering, left and down”, are the indications.

The answer is also on Google Maps. Just type “cemetery” and “Maradona” for the most famous search engine in the world to indicate with almost millimeter precision the area where the remains of the best footballer of all time are found.

In that corner of the Bella Vista Cemetery there is Maradona, with Don Diego and with Tota, as the song says. And to give peace of mind to all Argentines, especially those who have gotten carried away with gossip about goals, his gravestone is in excellent condition, with a sticker of his Argentine national team ’10’ shirt.

Clean, almost gleaming in the midday sun, the tombstone is decorated with it flowers which usually renew themselves every two or three days before they wither. the same as offers, rags and letters that appear incessantly and the cleaners are forced to remove it knowing that it is a task that is already part of their routine.

Among the trees, a little-known detail. A security camera points directly to Maradona’s tomb, a way to preserve the care of those who take advantage of their income to spend some time in silence next to the eternal idol.

Diego’s children and the idea of ​​the mausoleum

It is not the first time that doubts have arisen around Maradona’s tomb, and it was recently Dalma Maradona which arrived at the crossroads of journalistic reports that echoed the versions and presented the situation as real.

To make contacts with Diego’s remains more accessible, Diez’s heirs have been promoting the idea of ​​building a mausoleum in homage to Maradona for some time.

In November 2021, on the first anniversary of Diego’s death, his sons made public their intention to create a mausoleum or memorial to remember their father.

“A place of eternal rest where one can be visited and receive the recognition and love of millions of people who express it daily through the different media”, they explained in a letter published on instagram.

According to the letter signed by Sebastian Bagliettoattorney of Maradona’s five children, “it is the conviction of the heirs that he would have wanted it this way (for Diego): a space of free access, pilgrimage and encounter with nature on the banks of the river”.

The request was made to the Legislative Assembly of the City of Buenos Aires, and one of the places that was indicated as a possible site for the space dedicated to Maradona was the Buenos Aires seafront, near the Aeroparque. There is still no news about it, meanwhile Diego rests in Bella Vista, while millions still remember and mourn him.
