Fiorentina honoured Edoardo Bove in perfect fashion on Thursday by defeating Inter Milan 3-0 in a match which was stopped in December for the midfielder's on-pitch heart attack.
The two teams reconvened on Thursday to play the rest of the match, with Inter having a chance to move level on points with league leaders Napoli.
"We pulled out a stratospheric performance tonight... we can celebrate because everyone was great," said Ranieri to Sky.
On Monday night Inter will have chance for revenge for a first league defeat since losing the Milan derby in September as they host Fiorentina at the San Siro.
"We just weren't good enough, we were missing everything -- effort, aggressivity and determination," said Inter coach Simone Inzaghi.
