Where does the “Barella at the Quirinale” meme come from?
After the Italian national team's Euro 2020 victory, played in the summer of 2021, the players were received by President Sergio Mattarella at the Quirinal Palace. Photos and videos showing Nicolò Barella wearing sunglasses and drinking from a water bottle immediately circulated as a symbol of a celebratory night, inspiring countless photo edits and even a fan's tattoo. Barella later explained the team had landed around eight in the morning and had barely slept before the ceremony, which explained the sunglasses, denying the jokes about a hangover.
