• The Curva Sud displayed banners of support and chanted "Edoardo uno di noi" as Bove, visibly emotional, greeted supporters after the Roma-Fiorentina match.
• Italian regulations prevent players with implanted defibrillators, like Bove, from competing in Serie A, leaving his playing future uncertain despite his recovery and medical clearance.
• Bove’s loan from Roma to Fiorentina is set to expire in June 2025, with the two clubs in early talks about a possible extension of the arrangement.
• He recently unveiled plans for Boreale, a training center in Roma Nord tied to his roots, which is set to become a Fiorentina training facility.
