Happy Birthday Statuto! The solidarity Forever Card #26 celebrates the band from Turin and its 40 years of activity.
The ska group takes its name from Piazza Statuto, this important detail is also remembered on the back of the postcard that contains the solidarity sticker, with part of the song dedicated to this point of reference, even today, a meeting place for the Mods culture.
Founder, among the authors and singer of the band is Oskar Giammarinaro, who has already been the protagonist of another solidarity card, the Forever Card #19 with the colors of his beloved Torino FC, a club closely linked to the history of the band, to which dedicated several songs.
Thanks to the availability of Edizioni Amatoriali Qubotondo and the Tipografia Commerciale of Treviso, which produce all our solidarity stickers and cards and on this occasion have decided to work “pro bono”, the entire sum collected, without a single penny being withheld, will be destined to fundraising for people affected by floods and landslides in Emilia Romagna.
The initiative is carried out in collaboration with the MEI (Meeting Etichette Indipendenti), a long-established partner of Figurine Forever and even more important to have involved them, as Faenza is among the areas hardest hit by the floods of May 2023.
The first edition of the solidarity card is printed in 140 limited and numbered copies, a non-causal number of course.
GLI STATUTO for EMILIA ROMAGNA! The proceeds from the sale of this Forever Card will be used to support the “Adotta con la Figurina” project where Figurine Forever annually engages in different solidarity projects. The amount raised by the first edition of the solidarity card will be entirely allocated to fundraising for flooded areas in Emilia Romagna region.

Fumetto Forever Card #38: CIRO COLONNA
The Comic Card series was born from the encounter between cartoonists and the social and supportive sector, sometimes paying homage to comic book characters, more and more often connecting to real characters, stories and situations to be known and remembered, current or past, using this through to also reach people who normally, for various reasons, do not approach certain issues. Sometimes also to “humanize” those who should be remembered for what they did or what happened, but without forgetting that they are or were people like us, with their dreams, projects and passions.
The solidarity Comic Card #38 is dedicated to Ciro Colonna. It is a particular solidarity card as an established cartoonist was not involved but was created by several hands, by educators and children who attend the Ciro Colonna Center in Ponticelli (Naples): Roberto Cirillo, Pasquale Di Napoli and Ilaria Spagnuolo contributed to its preparation.
Two dark eyes, framed by black glasses and a reassuring face. Ciro was a simple boy, he lived with his mother Adelaide, father Enrico and Mary, his older sister. A great passion for SS Napoli that he shared with his father. He had the dreams, hopes, plans of any nineteen year old who loves life and who knows he has it all in front of him. Dreams, hopes, projects that he would certainly have stubbornly pursued.
The photos were provided by the Colonna family, under the removable card, the photo of Ciro smiling can be seen printed on the postcard, originally it was in color, the choice was to propose it in black and white, with the particularity of the light blue shirt .
It was a Tuesday, June 7, 2016. The scenario is that of via Decio mura Roman consul and it is the O lot or District of the Roman Villas, a few steps from the Colonna house. Ciro had left home to meet a friend. She had decided to wait for him playing table football in a nearby circle. Nothing different from what usually happened. But not that day. That day would change the lives of the Colonna family forever. And this only because, in that same circle, there was one of the top exponents of the Barbudos clan of the Sanità district, who had been at war for some time with the other families of the historic center for control of the territory. That June 7, fate crossed the very different lives of two young people.
In the card, Ciro wears a Napoli shirt among the buildings where he grew up, with the number 3, a victory not only for football but a symbol of hope. Three weeks after his death, with the community of Ponticelli, a playground and a pitch in his memory were redeveloped, in 2019 the Centro Colonna came to life, a place which, through the commitment of the local associations, welcomes the educational activities in memory of Ciro.
Figurine Forever will bring the card to Naples on 7 June 2023, on the occasion of the day in Ponticelli in memory of Ciro Colonna. 300 of the 326 printed copies of this first edition will be donated to the Ciro Colonna Center and to the realities that live there, including the Presidium of Libera Ponticelli and Maestri di Strada Onlus.
The first edition, numbered and limited, is not accidental. 326, 3 like the Napoli badges, 26 like the 1926 foundation year of the Napoli Club. Ciro, up there, is certainly celebrating for the Scudetto.

Fumetto Card Forever #37: GIANCARLO SIANI
Celebrate Napoli’s third Scudetto by always keeping the memory strong and alive of those who cannot be here to celebrate this immense joy that has overwhelmed the city and millions of fans, even from other teams or often not even football fans.
The solidarity Comic Card #37 is in memory of Giancarlo Siani and all the innocent victims of the mafia.
Giancarlo Siani was a fan of Napoli and also a sportsman, player and coach of a volleyball team. His job as a journalist probably didn’t allow him to devote much space to following football, but he would certainly have been enthusiastic about it.
Giancarlo Siani was unable to celebrate any of the three championships he won. He was only able to share the joy of Maradona’s arrival in Naples, but when the first championship arrives, in the 1986/87 championship, Giancarlo had already been killed by the Camorra, a year and a half earlier, on September 23, 1985, at just 26 .
Giancarlo was a reporter for Il Mattino. His investigations into the Camorra left their mark, which is why he was killed, because he was an uncomfortable journalist, a cheerful boy, sincere but absolutely stubborn and convinced in carrying on his work. He remained in the hearts of many, with his Olivetti typewriter with which he wrote over 600 articles and surveys.
The photos were supplied by the Siani family, under the removable solidarity card, the original photo of Giancarlo, from which the inspiration for the drawing was taken, can be seen printed on the postcard; he is in black and white, with the peculiarity of the green hat, a detail that we wanted to add, like his Mehari car, a symbol by heart that has been carried around the cities of Italy over the years.
The design was created by Dario Ruggieri, a great Napoli fan, to whom he dedicated two comic books “My Maradona tattoo” and “My first UEFA Cup. Stuttgart 05/17/89”.
The first edition, numbered and limited, is not accidental. 326, 3 like the Napoli badges, 26 like the 1926 founding year of the Club Napoli, but 26 also like the few years that Giancarlo was able to live.
The initiative is carried out in collaboration with the Napoli Club Bologna, named in memory of Giancarlo Siani. Figurine Forever will bring the sticker to Naples on June 7, on the occasion of the day in Ponticelli in memory of Ciro Colonna.
GIANCARLO SIANI FOREVER!

Celebrative Sticker #46: TANIA CAGNOTTO!
The greatest Italian diver of all time, one of the most loved Italian sportswomen, an authentic legend, a point of reference for many girls who aspire to a sports career. Tania Cagnotto is the Celebrative Sticker number 46!
Daughter of two platform champions like Giorgio Cagnotto and Carmen Casteiner, she seems predestined for this sport, but by her choice, her parents had also tried to offer her other disciplines. The love for water sports and for the trampoline, on the other hand, was born very quickly. Luckily, because Italy would not have had a true champion and her over 60 medals won in her career.
Tania Cagnotto equals her father by participating in 5 Olympics, bringing home two medals from Rio 2016. In Europe she is a true ruler, winning almost 30 medals in 16 years. Not only Inter football club, Tania also made own “triplete” of gold medals and not only once, but even on three occasions: in Turin 2009, Rostock 2015 and London 2016.
At a youth level he has reached the highest podium 5 times at a world level and 9 times at a European level. It is difficult to choose which is the highest moment of his incredible career, but the gold medal at the Kazan 2015 World Championships in the 1 meter springboard remains memorable. No Italian woman had ever become number one in the world. Tania is simply immense.

The stickers that take the plunge! Another sport finds space in the series of Celebrative Sticker solidarity stickers, a discipline that has seen the Italian colors very often on the podium. Absolute champions who have remained a symbol, athletes who have left their mark.
The Celebrative Sticker number 45 is Giorgio Cagnotto. Born in Turin, at the age of just 17 he was Italian champion and took part in his first Olympics, Tokyo 1964. 4 more will follow, many will also be the medals won, two in Munich 1972, one in Montreal 1976 and one in Moscow 1980.
In 1970 he was European champion with the gold medal won in Barcelona. His sporting career will be a point of reference for many male and female athletes who want to try their hand at this sport, in 2000 he was appointed Technical Commissioner of the Italian Diving National Team.
Among his many merits, also that of having been able to transfer his qualities, as did his wife Carmen Casteiner (Italian diving champion) in his daughter Tania, the greatest Italian diver of all time. This is why the next Celebrative Sticker, number 46, is dedicated to the great champion from Bolzano, the city where he was born and where his champion parents have lived for many years.

Fumetto Forever Card #35: THE CERVELLATI BROTHERS
Sport and the dramas of the Second World War have many common histories, just as many sportsmen suffered the tragedy of deportation to Nazi concentration camps. Stories that are often little known, almost forgotten, except for certain families and areas of the country who instead have made it a symbol and an indelible memory so that it never has to happen again.
The Cervellati brothers were two cyclists, the older, Irnerio, aspiring, the younger, Idro, aspiring. Their dreams of riding a bicycle were shattered first by the outbreak of war and then by their deportation to the Gusen-Mauthausen concentration camp, where they lost their lives together with their father Carlo.
The Cervellati family owned a small farm in Calcara, on the neighboroughs of Bologna, where the partisans had built a hut and sometimes stopped and spent the night, the family helped them. The parents Carlo and Clementina but also the three children: Irnerio, Idro and Stella.
Not only the partisans, the family also gave help to those who, after the armistice of 1943, had decided to flee to escape imprisonment for refusing not to join the republican army.
The Cervellati house was surrounded by fascists and SS men. in December 1944, the three men of the house were arrested and taken first to Bologna, then Mantua and with their final destination the Gusen-Mauthausen concentration camp where they never returned. When the camp was liberated on May 5, 1945, they were already dead.
The Comic Card #35 solidarity sticker is dedicated to the two brothers and their passion for cycling. To a dream torn from the madness of war and fascism. Those who saw Irnerio Cervellati compete defined him as one of the strongest riders of the period, with great potential and some races won between Emilia Romagna and Tuscany. hydro? We will never know what he could express on the streets, riding his bicycle, next to his older brother.
The cartoonist Mabel Morri was involved for the realization https://www.mabelmorri.it/ who really took the initiative to heart and gave away five splendid drawings of the 2 brothers, thanks to the photos provided by the Cervellati/Morselli family. Too talented to show only one, for this reason, in addition to the solidarity card, the other 4 illustrations are printed on the postcard.
We thank the Municipality of Valsamoggia for having sponsored the solidarity card.
We thank the Unione Sportiva Calcara, the cycling club of the town of the Cervellati Brothers which since 1945, through the passion for this sport, has also carried on the memory of these two youngsters, potential champions, throughout the year and every April with the Liberation Grand Prix. At the next edition, scheduled for April 30, 2023, there will also be Irnerio and Idro through their solidarity card.
TOGETHER for ANED!
With the proceeds of this new solidarity sticker + folder, it will be possible to support the activities of ANED the National Association Ex Deported in the nazi camps (http://www.deportati.it/?lang=en); we strongly feel the need to keep the memory of what happened alive and daily, because it should never happen again.

Forever Card #25: FRANCO FRANCHI and CICCIO INGRASSIA
The comic couple of Italian cinema becomes a solidarity card, Franco Franchi and Ciccio Ingrassia are Forever Card #25. In a probably unedited guise, certainly original. Franco and Ciccio were proud Sicilians, in love with their land and supporters of their hometown team, Palermo.
A good starting point for imagining them as players, perhaps in one of their famous films, as players of the Rosanero club, in a not too improbable game of hypotheses. The two actors are imagined footballers from the 60s, the exact year is deliberately not specified, after all, not even the shirt worn is exactly the same. They wouldn’t be Franco and Ciccio otherwise!
The solidarity card was created thanks to the availability and collaboration of the sons of the great actors: Maria Letizia and Massimo for Franco, Giampiero for Ciccio. The unconventional choice was also appreciated, giving free rein to the imagination and also to have fun. In the cinematic history of the duo there is also a film dedicated to the world of football, it is revealed on the postcard, by removing the card and discovering the image printed underneath. Thanks to the “photo envelope” donated by a collector.
The first edition of the solidarity card is printed in 112 limited and numbered copies. A non-random choice is the total number of films shot together by the two Sicilian actors.
The love for their land is also reaffirmed by the social purpose of this new solidarity figurine, connected to the “Adotta Con La Figurina” project and in particular to Marevivo Onlus, which carries out a fundamental work, thanks also to the commitment of many volunteers , for the care and protection of our beaches, our sea and its inhabitants.

Celebrative Sticker #44: PIETRO GENOVESI!
Once upon a time it was not so rare for a footballer to spend his entire career in just one club, sometimes with the team in the city where he was born and would live until his last days. Even being a champion and with the possibility of playing anywhere, but beyond what your heart tells you, it’s easier when you play for Bologna in the 1920s and contribute significantly to the team’s triumphs and game.
The Celebrative Sticker #44 solidarity sticker is dedicated to Pietro Genovesi. Born in 1902, at just 17 he was already in the first team, strong with both feet, suitable both on the right and on the left, thanks to his position and his competitive spirit he became a symbol of Bologna which won its first Scudetto in 1925 and repeated in 1929.
Pietro Genovesi also played 10 matches for the national team, participated in the selection that would take part in the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics, winning the bronze medal. At that time the Olympics were the major world competition, for some directly linked to the Rimet Cup which will only begin in 1930. Uruguay is absolutely convinced of this, always sporting 4 stars above its coat of arms, thanks to the victories at the 1924 Olympics and 1928 by beating the Azzurri in the semifinals and subsequently the World Cup in 1930 and 1950.
Round number of appearances in Bologna, 250 with 35 goals. In addition to two championships, with Bologna he also won the 1932 Mitropa Cup and the 1927-1930 International Cup, tournaments that were then highly prestigious competitions.
When he realizes he can no longer play at his best, he decides to retire at the age of just 31, remaining in his Bologna for the rest of his life. He shared almost his entire career with another football monument like Angelo Schiavio, three years younger who was the first historical solidarity sticker Celebrative Sticker #1.

Celebrative Sticker #43: TEO ALIBEGOVIC!
A game that has remained in the hearts of the fans Fortitudo, a player who had just arrived in Bologna who took the team by the hand and returned from the away game with a victory together with his teammates, saving the F from relegation to the third series. Perhaps a defeat would have been the end of everything, perhaps not, however one day, April 2, 1992, will remain an indelible memory, both for the many present in Reggio Emilia and for those who followed the match on TV or on the radio.
The Celebrative Sticker #43 solidarity sticker is double, it celebrates the player, it celebrates the event, in the name and in the myth of Teo Alibegovic. The player from Zenica (Bosnia Herzegovina) in Bologna was not known by many, it almost seemed like a “desperate” operation by the F to try to win a fundamental match. The blue-and-white people dream of salvation, they rely on their players and on the newcomer. Who in that short period of time begins to discover the environment, the visceral love for those colors and for that shirt. And he reciprocates.
88-93 the final result of that match, 28 points from Teo Alibegovic. Fortitudo is saved. Teo remains only the following season in Bologna, but that people and the F will always carry them in his heart, even when, excited, he returns as an opponent as a player of Alba Berlin.
The solidarity sticker was made possible thanks to the collaboration with the Fortitudo Museum Association which made its photographic and memorabilia archive available, such as for example the highly sought-after match ticket and thanks to the collaboration with Fortitudo Pallacanestro Bologna 103 which gave the authorization to insert the official logo of the club on the sticker.

Celebrative Sticker #42: EUGENIO BERSELLINI!
The collection of solidarity stickers is enriched by a new, fundamental role in the world of sport, the coach. Celebrative Sticker #42 is dedicated to Eugenio Bersellini.
Eugenio Bersellini, born in 1936, a former footballer from Brescia and Monza, owes his nickname “Iron Sergeant” to the harsh training methods. The Emilian coach also knew how to give moments of joy and tenderness, among friends, family and with his players. Even with the fans who have not forgotten him, especially for the decade that began with Sampdoria in 1975/76, then at Inter where in 5 years he will win the 1979/1980 Scudetto and two Italian Cups, followed by two years at Turin where he was the coach of the immortal 3-2 comeback in the derby against Juventus, to then return to Genoa and win the Sampdoria club’s first trophy: the 1984/85 Italian Cup.
For this reason, this solidarity sticker was created with 3 variants that could cover the unforgettable years, it is impossible to choose just one club, every football fan can decide which of the three stickers to have in his folder.
1979/80, Bersellini’s Inter ran towards the conquest of the Scudetto from the first matchday. A linear path, made even more exciting by the two championship derbies won and the poker trimmed to Juventus thanks to Altobelli’s hat-trick. Inter’s top scorer in the league is Alessandro Altobelli, with 15 goals. Evaristo Beccalossi made 7 of them, two of which in the derby against Milan. It’s a beautiful Inter and loved by Inter fans, Bersellini will stay at Inter for 5 seasons.
Coach of Toro for two seasons, from 1982 to 1984. strongly desired by the then President Sergio Rossi. In the first season, the date of March 27, 1983 is unforgettable. In the return derby Torino, down by two goals, recovered and overcame Juventus in three minutes, which fielded five World Champions as well as Platini and Boniek. Bonesso, Dossena and Torrisi, scorers of the three goals, send the grenade part of the Stadio Comunale to heaven.
Bersellini returns to Genoa after having already coached Sampdoria in the second half of the 1970s. With the trainer comes the first trophy of the Sampdoria club, the Italian Cup won in Marassi against Milan on 3 July 1985 and the same year in the championship he finishes in fourth place. These are the first steps of a team that will be the absolute protagonist in the 80s until the Scudetto with Boskov on the bench in 1990/91.
We thank the Bersellini family for having authorized and supported our initiative.

Fumetto Forever Card #34: DON CAMILLO and PEPPONE!
Gagliarda or Dynamos? It’s a small world, like the stickers. This was the name of Giovannino Guareschi’s first book on the “adventures” of the famous priest Don Camillo as opposed to his alter ego Peppone, the town’s mayor and mechanic. The story is closely connected to the Italian events, just after the Second World War, they are contemporary stories because they take place in the same period in which they are told.
The setting is the low Emilian plain, the name of the town is mentioned in the books and then disappears, only in the films will it have a precise and real location, Brescello, which has since become one with its characters.
The solidarity card is inspired by the comic stories published in Italy by Renoir Comics, which refer directly to Guareschi’s books. For this reason the characters do not have the appearance of the actors Gino Cervi and Fernandel but are close to what we read in the stories.
If the diatribe between Communists and Catholics/Christian Democrats is no longer so current, the epic village clashes between football teams are always on the agenda. There will always be a Gagliarda and a Dynamos to give them to each other on the sports field and, sometimes, even beyond. The match is not fictional, it also happens in stories. In the imagination of the card, faced with the result that does not stop, the two coaches decide to enter the field. Peppone does so by removing the shirt from one of his players “the people need their leader”, in response Don Camillo also enters who, unable to play with the priest’s habit, is made to wear a bib with the Gagliarda logo,
Who wins the game? That everyone can imagine their own final result, it seems that the referee has also been bribed. The invitation is to go back to reading the famous stories of Giovannino Guareschi. The solidarity card is designed by Tommaso Arzeno and supervised by Davide Barzi, both among the authors of the comic books published in Italy by Renoir Comics, thanks to which it was possible to carry out the initiative.
Thanks also to the heirs of the Guareschi family for having authorized and supported the project. The edition of this first edition in 148 copies is a deliberate homage to the year of the first volume publication, 1948, while the stories in episodes began to appear in the magazine “Candido” at the end of 1946.
for VERDI’S CHURCH IN RONCOLE!
With the proceeds of this new card + postcard, it will be possible to contribute to support the fundraising “Let’s save the church of Roncole Verdi” in Busseto (Parma), for the restoration of the church where he was baptized and where Giuseppe Verdi played the organ.

Fumetto Forever Card #33: GIUSEPPE SALVIA!
Giuseppe Salvia is Deputy Director and Head of the maximum security department of the Poggioreale prison, Naples, when he is assassinated by the Nuova Camorra Organizzata on the orders of Raffaele Cutolo, for having been a point of resistance in the fight of the State against the Camorra.
The solidarity Comic Card #33 is dedicated to the memory of Salvia and to all the innocent victims of the mafia. It was April 14, 1981, when Giuseppe, 38 years old married with two daughters (Antonino and Claudio), returning from work, was followed and shot to death in a cowardly ambush on the Naples ring road, by a commando from the area by Ponticelli.
The decision to draw him in front of a foosball table is a happy intuition of the Salvia family, following the information gathered on the setting that solidarity stickers often have. The aim is also to want, in some way, to “humanize” those who fought against mafia power and were unfortunately often killed for it. Giuseppe Salvia was not an ordinary man, of great values and sound principles, but he was also a person, a father, like many others, with his passions, such as that for table football.
The splendid drawing of the card was created by Italo Mattone, professor at the International School of Comics in Naples and well-known cartoonist for publishers such as Eura, Renoir and Sergio Bonelli Editore, in particular for the Julia, Martin Mystère, Odessa and Saguaro series.
The Comic Cards linked to the support of associations, realities and non-profit organizations against the mafias, have a circulation with an extremely symbolic number, 109, like the 1996 law for the public and social reuse of assets confiscated from the mafias.

Celebrative Sticker #39: TORINO-JUVENTUS 3-2 GIUSEPPE DOSSENA!
March 27, 1983, a date that will remain in the history of Italian football, especially “that of the past”, with the players who wore the shirt from 1 to 11, the games all on Sunday afternoon, who was not at the stadium with the ear attached to the radio.
That day there was the derby della Mole, the Juventus of Platini and many Azzurri coming from the mundial victory in Espana82 and the Torino FC of another world champion, Beppe Dossena. A probable victory for the black and whites who seemed to be heading towards the Scudetto, but the derby is not a game like any other, the heart of the grenade continues to beat even when all seems lost.
After about 60 minutes, Juventus took the lead 2-0 thanks to goals from Paolo Rossi and Platini. Between the 71st and 74th minute, in the span of 124 seconds, the incredible happened, Torino, coached by Eugenio Bersellini, overturned everything with goals from Dossena, Bonesso and Torrisi.
Forty years after that incredible match, a trilogy of Celebrative Stickers to celebrate the memory and the three players who, together with the rest of the team, were the creators, rebelling against an adverse destiny that seemed already written, in a day that will never be forgotten: Celebrative Sticker #39: Giuseppe Dossena Celebrative Sticker #40: Alessandro Bonesso Celebrative Sticker #41: Fortunato Torrisi At the same time, the Celebrative Sticker #42 dedicated to Eugenio Bersellini, the unforgettable coach of Torino FC, Inter and Sampdoria.
Celebrative Sticker #39, 1-2!: Torino’s first goal, that of hope, was scored by Giuseppe Dossena, who grew up in the Granata youth team and then moved on to Pistoiese, Cesena, Bologna before returning to Toro where he played from 1981 to 1987. Above all, the midfielder counts almost 40 appearances for the national team and is among the Azzurri who lifted the World Cup in Madrid in 1982 and in the 1990/91 he was Italian champion with Sampdoria.
The limited edition of the solidarity sticker, in its first edition in just 71 copies, is a precise tribute to one of his most important career goals, the minute in which he equalized in the Turin derby.

Celebrative Sticker #38: ANDREA LANFRI!
Who knows what it’s like to see the world from the top of Everest. The Celebrative Sticker #38 solidarity sticker is dedicated to Andrea Lanfri. Born in Lucca, in life he has always had a passion for school, sport and the mountains. In 2015, fulminant meningitis with meningococcal sepsis took away both of his legs, and seven fingers on his hands.
Andrea from this traumatic “experience” was able to find incredible strength of mind and spirit, in the stubborn awareness that his dreams had only suffered a setback. That the sky was still possible to touch, with a finger.
After a long and painful period, Lanfri, thanks to crowdfunding, can begin his new life path as an established sportsman. He enters the Paralympic national running team, wins 9 Italian titles in two years. He won the silver medal in the 4×100m relay at the 2017 World Championships, one silver and two bronze medals at the European Championships. The biggest regret is not being called up for the Rio Olympics despite having achieved the necessary results.
However, Andrea’s real journey has yet to begin. The initial idea of this Celebrative Sticker was to remember a Paralympic athlete, perhaps it will happen in the future, but it is the charm of the mountain, of its peaks that directs the project towards the incredible objectives achieved.
Mountaineering is a sport! To remove any doubts is his presence in the legendary albums “Campioni dello Sport” of the 60s that opened those pages where the myth crossed the legend. Andrea’s climb begins in 2018 with Monte Rosa, from 2019 to 2021 he reaches some of the most exciting peaks in the world on different continents. In 2022 it’s time to climb Everest, on May 13 Andrea reaches the summit at 8,849 meters. becoming the first man to climb the roof of the world with multiple amputations.
As an incredible interlude, before starting the ascent Andrea, in the village of Gorakshep, on April 1st sets a Guinness World Record, running the fastest mile with blades at an altitude of 5 164m, 9 minutes and 48 seconds.
Andrea Lanfri is a symbol of the fortitude of how much one can overturn the “plans of destiny” and rebuild them in one’s own image. Andrea is not a superhero, he is an example, a sportsman, a man.
ANDREA FOR THE “ADOTTA CON LA FIGURINA” PROJECT!
The entire proceeds from the sale of this Celebrative Sticker will be used to support the “Adotta con la Figurina – Sticker raising for Solidarity” project where our association annually engages in different solidarity projects, in Madagascar, Bosnia, Argentina and Italy.

Celebrative Sticker #37: FEDERICO PISANI!
Chicco and Ale Forever! Federico Pisani is a great promise of Italian football, born in Lucca, he arrives at Atalanta very young. It seems like a story with a happy ending, but the adverse “destiny” thinks otherwise. On 12 February 1997 Federico and his girlfriend Alessandra Midali lost their lives in a tragic road accident. Chicco is just 22 years old, Alessandra 20. Bergamo have never forgotten them, the Celebrative Sticker #37 is in their memory.
Born in Castelnuovo di Garfagnana but lived in Capannori, as confirmed by his mother Rosanna, Federico moved to Bergamo when he was just 15 years old. In its sporting history he had important coaches (Lippi, Mondonico, Prandelli) and has played alongside Italian soccer stars such as Filippo Inzaghi, Vieri and Tacchinardi.
It is the Atalanta of miracles, the one with the most important youth organization in Italy. He also demonstrates it on the field and Federico Pisani is among the protagonists, in 1992/93 the Primavera team wins the championship and the Viareggio tournament. The solidarity sticker wants to remember that triumphant season.
He made his debut in Serie A when he was just 17, the club relegated to Serie B but thanks also to his plays, the Bergamo team immediately returned to Serie A. This was followed by four goals in the top division in the 1995/96 season. Due to an injury, his appearances on the field were stopped, but at the beginning of 1997 he returned to the field in a journey to bring him back to the best of form. Unfortunately, Atalanta-Verona on 5 January 1997 will be his last match.
Federico’s plays are a pleasure for the eyes, the fans love him. The number 14 shirt becomes a symbol of being Atalanta. It will remain like this forever, after Federico’s death it is withdrawn and the Curva Nord of the stadium is dedicated to him, among the ultras who have always supported him and subsequently never forgotten. The decision to print 114 copies is a small tribute, due, to the Atalanta champion.
The solidarity sticker was made possible thanks to the collaboration and availability of the Midali and Pisani families.

Forever Card #24: ANDREA PAZZAGLI!
The songwriter goalkeeper. Andrea Pazzagli is the solidarity Forever Card #24, many remember him in Sacchi’s Milan, lifting the Champions Cup and two Intercontinental Cups. An incredible two-year period around Europe and the world and many trophies put on the showcase. Before and after important football squares such as Bologna, Udinese, Perugia and Ascoli.
Andrea Pazzagli was also born sportingly in his city, Florence. After the youth he crosses the Apennines and goes to Bologna. Of an important career full of satisfactions perhaps his greatest regret is not having played in the first team of Fiorentina. Which he was a big fan of.
For this reason, the solidarity card pays him doubly homage, as an unforgettable goalkeeper and as a Viola goalkeeper, imagining a story that went slightly different from what happened: Andrea does not leave Florence after his youth but finds space among the “grown-ups”, his 1976/77 sticker with the Viola shirt is a dream that, at least with the sticker, becomes reality.
The other aspect of Andrea Pazzagli is his passion for music which leads him to make two albums, where he takes care of music and lyrics, often stories related to football, to his football. The “hidden” photo on the postcard, where you can put the card on it, shows him not with boxing gloves defending the goal, but with the guitar, photographed in his native Florence, in an event organized by Giglio Amico Onlus.
DE MAGISTRIS FOR GIGLIO AMICO ONLUS! The proceeds from the sale of the solidarity card are intended to support the activities of the Giglio Amico OdV Association of Florence (https://www.giglioamico.it/), historic and important Florentine reality, with strong purple hues, for more than 25 years engaged in solidarity field. Reality with which Figurine Forever has already had the opportunity to collaborate and support, proud to renew this partnership. Gianni De Magistris is an honorary member of the non-profit organization.

Celebrative Sticker #36: CARLO CASTELLANI!
Many have heard on the radio or television “let’s take the line from the Castellani stadium in Empoli ..” without knowing who the person after whom the Tuscan city named the stadium was. Around Italy there are sports facilities that with their name want to remember stories and characters that must not be forgotten.
What happened many years ago is still fresh in mind, not only in Empoli. The name Carlo Castellani is indelible, the project of this solidarity sticker has two purposes: to pay homage to those who have never forgotten it, to restore strength to the historical memory of those who still do not know the life and tragedy of this champion.
The Celebrative Sticker #36 is Carlo Castellani, born in Montelupo Fiorentino on January 15, 1909, died in Gusen on August 11, 1944. In between, a lot of football played, many goals scored with his Empoli, the Tuscan club’s absolute best scorer for over 70 years . The record will be surpassed only by Francesco “Ciccio” Tavano in 2011.
In the dark years of the war and the regime, although his family is anti-fascist, Carlo doesn’t get involved in politics. On the night of 8 March 1944, the carabinieri and the hierarch knock on the door of the Castellani house to take away his father David, who however is ill. Carlo decides to take his place, without resisting for fear of retaliation against his family.
Carlo is taken to Florence. From platform 6 of the Santa Maria Novella station he is loaded onto a train for Germany, crammed with hundreds of other deportees and deportees, some will die along the way, he arrives days later at the Mauthausen concentration camp.
Carlo Castellani, physically and mentally exhausted, died on 11 August 1944.
This solidarity stickers was made possible thanks to the collaboration with Aned – National Association of Former Deportees in Nazi Camps, in particular the sections of Empoli, Florence and Bologna. It is sponsored by the Municipality of Empoli and the Municipality of Montelupo Fiorentino and is created in collaboration with the Empoli Football Club which allowed the official logo of the white-blue club to be inserted.
Special thanks to Franco Castellani, Carlo’s son, for sharing memories, letters, photos. Of these photos, only a few but significant ones have given life to a folder that acts as a splendid frame for a figurine that will remain over time. To never forget.
The Celebrative Sticker #36 solidarity sticker will be presented on Friday 3 March 2023, at 4.30 pm in the Press Room of Empoli FC at the Carlo Castellani Stadium.
TOGETHER for ANED!
With the proceeds of this new solidarity sticker + folder, it will be possible to support the activities of ANED the National Association Ex Deported in the nazi camps (http://www.deportati.it/?lang=en); we strongly feel the need to keep the memory of what happened alive and daily, because it should never happen again. 150 of the numbered version and 50 of the unnumbered version were donated to Aned Empoli as our support to this important reality, for a total value of 1,000 euros
We want to remember Carlo Castellani both for the great man, persecuted, that he was, and for the great footballer, as the facts say, that he was.

Celebrative Sticker #35: OSCAR SCHMIDT!
“and with the number 18..”. Brazil is not only the land of great football, there are other sports where great champions have been able to make a difference. Absolute myths for their country but also for the city and fans of a particular team for which they are a symbol, forever (“forever” as we like it). Caserta has never forgotten it, the Celebrative Sticker #35 is dedicated to Oscar Schmidt!
Oscar participated in 5 Olympic Games, holding records of both appearances and points scored, his love for Brazil is exemplary, in an interview he declared that he did not go to play in the NBA because then the US professional players could not participate in the commitments of the national team. USA basketball, in 2013, included him in the Hall of Fame.
As written on our celebratory card, Oscar’s period at Juvecaserta went from 1982 to 1990, almost 300 games played, almost 10,000 points scored. Legendary numbers. With the Brazilian champion, the team from region Campania makes the leap in quality in Italy and Europe, ironically the historic Scudetto in Caserta will arrive only the following year (after 2 lost finals in the 80s), but we are convinced that Oscar too, in the previous years, had contributed well to creating the foundations of the dreamed of triumph.
Oscar Bezerra Schmidt completes a special trilogy of great basketball champions celebrated with our solidarity stickers, touching Italy from north to south: Milan and Varese (Dino Meneghin), Bologna (Gary “Baron” Schull) and now Caserta, the myth of basketball in stickers. More and more hot spots of Italian basketball will arrive where we will go to celebrate them, of course.
The solidarity sticker was made possible thanks to the collaboration with the Municipality of Caserta and some Juvecaserta fans, essential for getting in touch with the great champion.
OSCAR SCHMIDT for “L’ANGELO DEGLI ULTIMI” – CASERTA“!
The proceeds will be donated to L’Angelo degli Ultimi” (https://www.langelodegliultimi.org/), an important reality in the field of volunteering at Caserta

Celebrative Sticker #34: GIANLUCA SIGNORINI!
The Captain forever! Each team has its symbolic players, who become the protagonists of a certain sporting period of the club, loved by the fans and respected by their opponents. The shirt sewn on the chest and a number that no one else will ever have again. Number 6 forever. The Celebrative Sticker #34 solidarity sticker is dedicated to Gianluca Signorini.
Gianluca’s abnegation for the shirt worn has remained in Genoan hearts. Raised in Pisa, his city, “the captain” plays in various teams, Roma, Parma, Livorno, Ternana, to arrive in 1988 in the red and blue Genoa. Here he knows the most epic and important moments of his competitive career, the first year he conquers Serie A, in the following years the Grifone makes history and leaves his mark in Italy as in Europe, with the semi-final reached in the UEFA Cup in the 1991-92 season, with the memorable victory at Anfield Road at Liverpool.
Gianluca, a man with a pure heart, will leave Genoa in 1995 only to return to his native Pisa and help bring the Tuscan club back into the professional ranks after the bankruptcy of 2 years earlier.
Gianluca Signorini passed away at the age of only 42, on November 6, 2002, due to ALS; in reality he is still here with us, Genoans, Pisans, football lovers and the stories of sport and life that intertwine. Gianluca is present in the heart of football lovers, Signorini is forever.
The solidarity sticker Celebrative Sticker #34 was created in collaboration and in support of the Museum of the History of Genoa and follows the Celebrative Sticker #16 by Giovanni De Prà. 80 copies of the sticker will be donated to the Museum in order to support its important cultural activity and sports history.
We want to thank Benedetta Signorini for her willingness to approve our initiative which aims to keep alive the historical and sporting memory of a great champion, immortal for so many of us.
The presentation of the solidarity sticker will be in Genoa, on Saturday 28 January 2023, at 10.30, at the Museum of the History of Genoa. The event is open to the public.

Celebrative Sticker #33: EL PUEBLO ARGENTINO!
In the Celebrative series we deal with sports, recalling unforgettable stories, great champions, champions also in life to remember, but also entire teams, presidents, referees and soon also coaches, of different sports disciplines.
We have not been indifferent to the great triumph of the Argentine national team at the 2022 World Cup and even more to an entire population that took to the streets, in Buenos Aires, as in many other cities around the world. Something never seen before, perhaps unrepeatable, certainly unforgettable.
To celebrate the 100th solidarity sticker printed, what better idea than to let yourself be carried away, indeed overwhelmed, by Argentina’s passion for football? Here it is, the first solidarity sticker in honor and in homage to a people and its heroes, from 1978, 1986, 2022, which you find printed in the folder, they are not stickers but they couldn’t be missing.
Celebrative Sticker #33 is dedicated to the Argentine people and what better occasion than to release it on the occasion of the tenth edition of FIGUCON? See you on Sunday 15 January in Bologna!

Fumetto Forever Card #32: BLUE GIRL!
The collaboration between Figurine Forever and Amnesty International continues, with the aim of raising awareness, remembering and promoting the initiatives that the Human Rights organization carries out in Italy and in the world. In the style of the solidarity stickers, always using the immortal charm of the stickers, as immortal is the memory of Sahar Khodayari.
The Comic Card #32 is in memory of her, who became famous as the Blue Girl.
Sahar is a young woman full of life, a fan of Tehran’s Esteghlal FC. But the Iranian regime still doesn’t allow women to go to the stadium: to see her favorite team play, Sahar disguises herself as a man and tries to sneak into the Azadi stadium, but is discovered and arrested.
Sinful act, not having worn the hijab in a public place and offense to public officials: these are the heavy charges against him. At the first hearing she hears that the sentence could be from 6 months to 2 years in prison. Coming out of the courthouse, in a gesture of protest and desperation at the same time, Sahar decides to set herself on fire.
She will die a week later, on September 9, 2019, from the severe burns he sustained.
She will be remembered as Blue Girl, the girl in blue, like the color of the Esteghlal shirt. #bluegirl will go around the world. Following her case, pressure from FIFA led the Iranian regime to make some concessions on the presence of women in stadiums for international matches. The photo you see on the postcard is related to this period.
The author of the splendid drawing, which takes up a famous photo of Blue Girl, is the young cartoonist Chiara Raimondi, recently appreciated at work with the comic biography of Rigoni Stern (Becco Giallo editions).
The solidarity card will be presented to the public, in a national preview, at the 10th edition of FIGUCON, on Sunday 15 January 2023, at Estragon Club Bologna. Chiara Raimondi will be present for the signing of copies of the solidarity card from 14.00 to 17.00

ONLY FORever FANS 2023: BEST!
In 2023, the ONLY FOREVER FANS card + postcard, distributed to our members, is a tribute to George Best, the symbol of a nation, a unique way of experiencing football.
The initiative was realized thanks to the splendid drawing made by Alan Greco, the photos around which retrace the career of George Best, are instead taken from some stickers produced by Edizioni Amatoriali Qubotondo, which makes all our solidarity stickers.
The images in English albums and magazines instead come from private collections.
On the back we wanted to pay tribute to a famous phrase dedicated to the champion. We hope this little homage can help to keep the historical memory of one of the greatest footballers of all time alive.
The card + postcard, unlike the other solidarity products, does not have a progressive numbering, 100 copies were printed, some of which were donated to the designer.
Celebrative Sticker #32: CARLO NERVO!
Our Association is based in Bologna and Bologna is our city. In reality it is almost a coincidence but several changes in the setting of our solidarity stickers are linked to the red and blue colors: Angelo Schiavo was the first Celebrative Sticker, Eneas De Camargo was the first Celebrative with the new graphic setting, now Carlo Nervo, Celebrative Sticker #32, is the first with a limited and numbered edition always fixed (except in rare cases) at 100 copies and an unnumbered parallel edition, defined as standard, which in case of need it will be possible to print other copies.
This solidarity sticker comes from a collaboration with the Forever Ultras of Bologna football club. The historic group of the Curva Bulgarelli has offered us to pay homage to a footballer who is their idol and flag. For them as for all Bologna FC fans. Carlo Nervo played over 10 years in the Bologna club, experiencing epic moments and less happy moments but always with Bologna in his heart.
The number 7 of Bologna, thanks to his performances in the team, was also able to wear the national team shirt. For this reason, we thought it was a duty as well as a pleasure to also include a photo in “Azzurro” in a sticker and folder completely dedicated to the red and blue colours.
The contribution of Lamberto Bertozzi, one of the most important collectors of relics and memorabilia of the BFC1909 was fundamental. He provided us with the necessary photos, thanks to the great archive work he carries out with the Bologna Calcio Museum, for now only available virtually (https://www.museobolognacalcio.it/wp/).
CARLO NERVO for the “ADOTTA CON LA FIGURINA” PROJECT!
The entire proceeds from the sale of this Celebrative Sticker will be used to support the “Adotta con la Figurina – Sticker raising for Solidarity” project where our association annually engages in different solidarity projects, in Madagascar, Bosnia, Argentina and Italy.

Celebrative Sticker #31: FORTITUDO WHITE SOX!
There are sports stories that it is a pleasure to make known, tell, remember, celebrate. They are not always stories of a single athlete, it would not be enough, sometimes there is an entire team to be the center of attention. An important story of champions in sport and in some way also in life. The Celebrative Sticker #31 is dedicated to the Fortitudo Bologna White Sox!
We often write it, the primary purpose of our project, even before that of fundraising (always important anyway) is to use the charm of “figurine” to tell stories, about sport and often much more, in this series. Sometimes it happens on the contrary, we are the first to come into contact with realities and events we did not know, remaining struck and attracted by them. Perfect and meaningful to make them a solidarity sticker.
The Fortitudo Bologna White Sox are Italy’s champion team in Baseball for the Blind. The team is made up of blind, visually impaired and sighted players, needed to coordinate some game actions. We have tried to convey the idea of the speed, precision and potential of the players inside the folder, in the splendid photos (thanks again to the availability of Giovanni Pini of nonsolovolley.it), the invitation that all we do is to go and watch the sport live.
Baseball for the blind has different rules from the classic one, for example the role of the pitcher does not exist; the hitter, in the attack phase, uses the bat to hit from below, throwing the ball. Sight prompters are provided both in attack and defense, which help blind people to orient themselves better. The ball releases a sound that helps athletes understand its direction.
The photo of the sticker, taken like the others at the final in Milan, celebrates the second consecutive Scudetto. White Sox that not only in Italy but also in Europe and the Americas had the opportunity to compete with other teams, waiting, who knows, to one day have this discipline at the Paralympic Games. Less simple than one might think, also considering how little traditional baseball is considered by the IOC.
FIGURINE FOREVER forWHITE SOX!
The entire proceeds from the sale of this Celebrative Sticker will be used to support the team and help raise awareness of the unique and incredible reality of Baseball for the Blind.

Forever Card #23: VITTORIO BELLENGHI!
Great news at Figurine Forever, the FanForever Card series changes its name to broaden its horizons, after 22 releases dedicated to the world of music and cinema, the new Forever Cards will be the perfect container for our solidarity initiatives. We will continue to involve artists from the world of entertainment but we will also talk about stories, realities, men and women who must be remembered.
The first of these is in memory of Vittorio Bellenghi, an exciting and heartfelt continuation of what has already been done in the Celebrative Sticker series, after the two solidarity stickers in memory of Bruno Neri. Vittorio and Bruno, sportsmen and partisans, died together in July 1944, in a firefight with the occupying German forces. We like to think that in moments of tranquillity, in addition to talking about their beautiful Faenza, they also found themselves telling stories of sports, football and basketball, waiting to have to pick up the gun again.
Vittorio Bellenghi, born on 7 March 1913 in Faenza, unmarried, accountant under army officer, basketball player, enrolled at the University of Bologna, Faculty of Economics and Commerce, Radio Zella activist and partisan, died in war at just 31 years old .
After the war, Faenza will have an important history in basketball, especially in women’s basketball. Somehow we can define the players of the 30s as pioneers. There is not much information that we have managed to gather about the sporting history of Vittorio Bellenghi or that of pre-war Faenza basketball. Our hope is that this solidarity card is a means not only to help remember a patriot but also a sporting history, “of the province”, with the hope that this article of ours can also be integrated later with other news.
The photo in the postcard of Vittorio with his teammates dates back to the 1934/35 season, recovered thanks to the availability of the Municipality of Faenza.
The solidarity (Fan) Forever Card #23 is made in collaboration with the MEI (Meeting Independent Labels) and will be presented at the Museum of the Risorgimento in Faenza, Thursday 1 December 2022, in the presence of the city authorities.
FOR ANPI!
The Vittorio Bellenghi solidarity card is intended to recall a personal, sporting and partisan story of a young basketball player who decided to fight for freedom. For this reason the support is aimed at ANPI (National Association of Partisans of Italy), in memory of the fallen and the values of Resistance and Peace.

Fumetto Forever Card #31: GIORGIO REBUFFI!
To date we have involved over 30 authors of the Ninth Art in the solidarity card project, we will never stop thanking them for their time, passion and willingness to make a fundamental contribution to a project that surprised ourselves first of all, in seeing how many satisfactions it has brought us and how much it has branched out.
It was also time to think about those who, unfortunately, are no longer with us, because comics have a long, compelling and exciting history. Made up of many characters who have remained in the hearts of readers, as well as many authors and designers who created them. Comics Card #31 is dedicated to one of these, a historic name in Italian comics, Giorgio Rebuffi, born in 1928, who died in 2014.
Not only Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, Italian newsstands have experienced a period, which actually lasted many years, where children and teenagers ran to buy American humorous comics as high quality Italian productions that saw a succession of unforgettable signatures of the Ninth Art.
Many icons of Italian comics are linked to the name of Giorgio Rebuffi, from Beppe and Cucciolo to Tiramolla, from Trottolino to even Disney’s Uncle Scrooge. Most of all, the Steppe Wolf remains unforgettable with his improbable “macaroni Russian”, Pugaciòff.
The solidarity Comic Card #31 is therefore a double tribute to a character who has entered the collective imagination of Italian comics and to his creator. For this reason, as often happens with our solidarity publishments, the circulation has a precise meaning: 159 with reference to 1959, Pugaciòff’s first appearance in the Edizioni Alpe albums.
The initiative was made possible by the collaboration with Sbam Comics, the current publisher of Pugaciòff’s stories and by the availability of the Rebuffi Family who made it possible to achieve everything. Equally and always proactive, the collaboration with ANAFI (National Association of Friends of Comics) and the WOW Comics Museum in Milan.
Comics Card #31 will be previewed at the 65th Anafi Comics Exhibition, Bologna Fair, on Saturday 26 November 2022 where you can find copies of the solidarity card both at the Figurine Forever stand and at the Sbam Comics stand.
PUGACIOFF for the wolves of Monte Adone! With the proceeds of this new card + postcard, it will be possible to support the activities of Progetto Lupo by Centro Tutela Fauna Monte Adone (https://centrotutelafauna.org/)
A small part of the printed copies will be donated to the WOW Museum and put up for sale at their shop, in order to support the cultural activities of this important Italian reality.

Fan Forever Card #22: RATS!
“Less orgies and more stickers!” .. we are not crazy, it is a semi-quote from the beginning of a song, even if it comes from the album “Belli e Dannati” in 1994, while this year we celebrate the 30 years (30 years?!? help ..) of a another milestone of Italian rock. The Fan Forever Card # 22 solidarity card is dedicated to the RATS!
“Chiara”, “Fuori Tempo” (feat. A certain Mr. Ligabue), “Angeli di strada” and the title track “Indiani Padani”, an album that does not know a moment of tired, hard and pure rock n roll that has led the Rats to tread the most important stages and the most followed TV programs, to have a large audience that loved them and continues to do so today.
Wilko, Romi and Lor have at some point made different life choices, only to find themselves for several years for special events, with that charge that has always distinguished them. We could not miss the opportunity to try to involve them in our project of solidarity stickers, to which they responded with enthusiasm.
The photos chosen are, for the card, of Giansi Campagnoli (historical photographer of the band) and on the bottom of the postcard by Mirko Candelli, taken from a recent concert of the band. The Rats of yesterday and today together. The card also hides an image of the poster of the special concert 2022, where the initiative will be presented in an exclusive preview.
The limited and numbered edition of the card, in just 192 copies, is a deliberate reference to the 30th anniversary of the release of that seminal album. 1992, a year that Italian rock certainly cannot forget and will celebrate it with a special event on Friday 11 November 2022 at the Vox in Nonantola (MO). The lucky ones who will be present that evening will also be able to take home one of the 192 copies available of the Rats solidarity card!
RATS FOR PORTA APERTA! The proceeds will be donated to the PORTA OPERTA Volunteer Association (https://www.portaapertamodena.it/), a historic reality in Modena and the whole province, committed to the front line in solidarity and in the fight against social exclusion.

Fan Forever Card #21: PIERANGELO BERTOLI!
“The wind still blows” and it blows again! The Fan Forever Card # 7 solidarity card which portrayed Pierangelo and Alberto Bertoli as Sassuolo footballers was among our most successful solidarity cards, which has already achieved the goal of supporting the beautiful reality of Porta Aperta Odv which operates in the province of Modena.
Having received the invitation from Alberto Bertoli to take part, as in 2021, in the Pierangelo Bertoli Award, we decided to do an encore. By creating a new solidarity card, naturally and completely different from the previous one, which celebrated the singer-songwriter as the great artist, poet, storyteller who was and who will forever be in the hearts of many, including us.
Fan Forever Card # 21 is dedicated to Pierangelo Bertoli! The initiative was made possible by the renewed availability of the Bertoli family, in a period of important anniversaries: 20 years from Pierangelo’s death, 80 years from his birth, in 2023 it will also be 50 years from his recording debut.
Important is the collaboration with the Pierangelo Bertoli Award, which we remember in our postcard, on the front a photo of the exciting couple performance of Roby Facchinetti and Alberto Bertoli at last year’s edition; on the back, the Prize logo and a tribute to one of Bertoli’s most famous songs.
BERTOLI FOR PORTA APERTA! The proceeds will be donated to the PORTA OPERTA Volunteer Association (https://www.portaapertamodena.it/), a historic reality in Modena and the whole province, committed to the front line in solidarity and in the fight against social exclusion.

Celebrative Sticker #30: CHRIS AMON!
Motors forever! Finally our collection of solidarity stickers is enriched with the first one dedicated to the world of engines and never could have been more appropriate choice. In the spirit of our productions that often tell of great champions but also and above all of great sports stories. Celebrative Sticker # 30 is dedicated to Chris Amon!
Chris Amon was a great pilot at the turn of the 60s and 70s, talented and famous despite never having managed to win a race in F1 and certainly not out of demerit because the New Zealander was really strong. Did bad luck have a hand? Maybe yes maybe no. Certainly if you are passionate about motoring and do not know its history correct to discover it, in it you will find all the charm and the myth of four-wheel racing.
Beyond F1, the driver chosen and loved by Enzo Ferrari himself has been able to leave his mark in great classics such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans and above all the 24 Hours of Daytona. Here, in 1967, his contribution to the victory of the Italian team was fundamental.
Our solidarity sticker is inspired by the very interesting book written by Emiliano Tozzi and the photos used are those of the photographer Marco Valentini, mainly relating to the period of the early 1970s. So you will forgive us if we used a photograph for the sticker actually after that incredible 1967 and the triumph of Daytona, but the photo was too suggestive to use another one.
FOR “ADOTTA CON LA FIGURINA” PROJECT!

Fumetto Forever Card #30: SILVER!
“Hey Beppe!”, This time we play in advance not waiting for the anniversary and this time we involved one of the most beloved Italian cartoonists and with him, of course, one of the most read strips. We challenge anyone, not to have had at least once a diary, a notebook, a pencil case, of course a register or really much more of Alberto, the wolf in constant struggle with Moses and the other inhabitants of the farm to be able to reach the arms of his beloved hen Marta.
We were lucky enough to meet the famous designer at the WOW Museum in Milan, whom we support with some of our solidarity stickers and whom we thank, through the Director Luigi F. Bona it was possible to get back in touch with the author of Lupo Alberto and Cattivik for to get to this splendid solidarity figurine, it has yet to come out and has already entered the myth.
As often happens with our productions, we wanted to give a sporting connotation to the solidarity stickers, in this case the memory of the many strips read, starting from the legendary Eureka Pocket of Editoriale Corno, came to meet us. We talked about it with Silver and his staff, not only was an unpublished rugby-themed design born but, given the new graphics of our postcards, we were also able to insert that strip from many years ago that inspired us and that above all makes us still laughing a lot!
Lupo Alberto was born in 1973, even if our hero will become the main protagonist only a year later. Next year we imagine there will be many events to commemorate the 50th anniversary of this comic, all Italian pride, we will be there too, with our solidarity card, provided that of course it does not end sooner. After all, the limited and numbered edition is a tribute to the strip’s half-century.

Fumetto Forever Card #29: ALDRO LIVES!
A year later, we return to Ferrara, a year later we still feel strongly the duty to remember a boy, on the occasion of the anniversary of his death, which took place on 25 September 2005, killed by the murderous madness of those who, instead of representing the State and his values, he raged violently on Aldro who had, the only fault if it can be considered such, of living his young age.
After the great success of the first solidarity Comic Card, printed in 300 numbered copies and sold out in a single day, we therefore decided to make a second one, completely different from the previous one. Like the first one, the Ferrara illustrator and cartoonist Alberto Lunghini created it. Thinking of meeting the strong demand and the many disappointed by not being able to take a copy of the first one, this time we printed 500 copies, a truly significant number compared to our parameters, but we are sure that everyone’s response will be equally important.
There is a logical and dramatic sequence between the first and the second card, in the first we imagined Federico and his dreams, in this we wanted to somehow underline all the movement that was created after his death, not only in the his memory but also and above all in the search for truth and justice.
Movement that was a group of ordinary people, organizations such as Amnesty International, institutions but also and perhaps above all the curves of the ultras, from north to south, from Serie A to the minor leagues, from football to basketball, from the boys of the Curva Ovest of Spal to other groups that, even today, carry the image of Federico around the stadiums, so that he may never be forgotten and who, still and incredibly, is sometimes opposed by those in charge of public order in some cities.
“Aldro lives” therefore, in the heart of his family and of those who loved him. In the passion of those who also know how to put aside love for their team and hatred for the opponent, for a common interest, for a thirst for justice and solidarity that knows neither colors nor relegations nor categories.
The photos of the curves that you find on the front of the postcard were provided by the Aldrovandi family who have collected them in the last 17 years, we have not been able to put them all, they were really too many. Update: we realized, too late and only after having already sent the postcard to print, that the same image was inserted twice at the expense of that of the curve of the Ultras Foggia. It was not possible to remedy the error in time for the presentation in Ferrara. For this reason, an updated edition will be printed in a very limited number of copies, 18 copies, a free version, so as to be able to give credit to the Foggia fans too. We apologize for the inconvenience.

FanForever Card #20: IVAN GRAZIANI!
Pigro (Lazy) Forever! In our FanForever series we have involved historical names of Italian music, icons of our sounds and our culture who, personally or through their heirs, wanted to participate in our initiative, particular but above all in solidarity. Each of them is unique and alone, the rock singer-songwriter we are announcing is even more so: the solidarity FanForever Card # 20 is dedicated to Ivan Graziani.
This approach to the artist has led us to listen to songs that are an important part of Italian music: “Lugano Addio”, “Firenze (canzone triste)”, “Agnese dolce Agnese”, “Pigro”, the list would be quite long, for an important career unfortunately ended too soon 25 years after the death of Ivan Graziani, it is an honor but also a burden to pay homage to him.
Unlike the previous FanForever Cards, for Ivan Graziani we decided to have a different image on the postcard than the one on the card. We felt it was important and meaningful to pay homage doubly. Above all, we couldn’t resist inserting his beloved guitar and his equally unforgettable red glasses in some way.
The solidarity card is made in collaboration with his wife Anna Graziani, she revealed to us Ivan’s passion for the football team of his city, as well as that for the Italian national team. For this reason it was chosen to dress the rock singer-songwriter with the classic Teramo Calcio shirt. The year is not accidental, we wanted to hypothesize an alternative story where Ivan, in 1973, while his first album in Italian was released, was called to play in the red and white club. Maybe one day sharing the field with another Graziani, this time of real football and world champion, Francesco, for all Ciccio.
IVAN GRAZIANI for ANFFAS Teramo! The initiative aims to raise funds to support Anffas Teramo (http://www.anffasteramo.it/), according with Graziani Family.

Celebrative Sticker #29: CARLO PEDERSOLI!
Bud Forever! The Celebrative Sticker series deals with paying homage, remembering, celebrating the great champions and personalities of sport. It may happen, as in this case, that a great athlete then becomes even more famous by making a different choice in his professional life. Before becoming Bud Spencer, the actor we all love, Italy had an enormously talented swimmer. With immense pleasure, pride and a certain amount of emotion, the Celebrative Sticker # 29 solidarity sticker is dedicated to Carlo Pedersoli!
Carlo Pedersoli’s sporting career is a succession of great successes in both swimming and water polo. He was the first Italian to go under one minute in the 100m freestyle race, of which he was national champion 7 times. He took part in two Olympics arriving in the semifinals, silver medal at the 1951 Mediterranean Games. With water polo, which he was involved in “occasionally”, he won the gold medal with the blue colors at the 1955 Mediterranean Games.
At the end of the 50s, the future Bud makes the choice to move to South America and somehow gives up his sporting career. Although, having returned to Rome years later, he was called up by the national swimming team to participate in the 1960 Rome Olympics, but without taking part in it; “He should have taken part in it but he preferred to get married that year”, this is the answer given to us by his daughter Cristiana (in the photo below), who clarifies an often incongruent datum found on the internet with respect to Olympic participation.
This whole part of Carlo Pedersoli’s life is also well told in the graphic novel “Bud Spencer” drawn by Roberto Lauciello based on a screenplay by Marco Sonseri (Renoir Comics, 2021), which was very useful in putting us in contact with the Pedersoli family and who have already participated in our solidarity stickers project with the Comic Card # 17 dedicated to Bud Spencer.
In the Celebrative Sticker solidarity sticker we therefore dedicated ourselves to paying homage to a sporting career, sometimes not remembered enough given the greatness of the actor, an authentic legend. The sticker recalls Carlo Pedersoli’s first Olympics, in Helsinki in 1952. However, in the folder we also wanted to remember the man and therefore we have included a wonderful photo of Bud walking around Rome and on the back showing a photo of him as an athlete.
We are convinced that the two aspects of Bud / Carlo’s life are one, important and memorable and therefore both to be celebrated and remembered. As well as his love for Naples and the sea. For this reason, even this second solidarity sticker by Bud Spencer is in support of the Onlus Maestri di Strada of the Neapolitan city, maybe it will also help the young people followed by the organization to get to know this famous fellow citizen beyond the many films they have seen on television.
263 limited and numbered copies, 2 like the Olympics in which he took part, 63 like the famous jersey number he wears in the film “They called him Bulldozer“. The sticker will be previewed in Naples on Thursday 22 September at the Maestri di Strada headquarters, then you can find it in three important events in which Figurine Forever will take part:
Music Day + Figucon, Roma 24-25 september 2022 (63 copies available) MEI Meeting Etichette Indipendenti, Faenza 1-2 october 2022 (50 copies available) Fiera del Fumetto Kolosseo, Bologna 15-16 october 2022 (50 copies available)
100 copies will be available for sale online on our site, to these will be added any unsold copies from the three events reported above. We will gradually update the site with copies still available.
BUD SPENCER for MAESTRI DI STRADA!
With the proceeds of this new solidarity sticker + folder, it will be possible to support the activities of the non-profit organization MAESTRI DI STRADA (https://www.maestridistrada.it/), splendid reality deeply rooted in the territory of Naples and to which, in agreement with the Pedersoli family, the proceeds are destined.

Fumetto Forever Card #28: LUI E L’ORSO!
Rainbow forever! The great releases of the solidarity Comic Cards continue in a new graphic format, which makes the right space and “tribute” to the graphic novel from which they take inspiration. Real characters or fictional characters, but with something to say. The Comic Card # 28 is dedicated to a couple of comics, Diego and Simone, better known as “Him and the Bear”.
An LGBT + themed comic that after its great success as a webcomic has landed on the press for Shockdom editions. Our heroes live an intense and sometimes complicated love story in Bologna, surrounded by a group of friends who, through humor, can be defined as excellent representatives of that splendid reality that is the LGBT + community of the city of Bologna, well integrated and promoter, often earlier than in the rest of the country, of battles for civil rights.
The Bear is not just a reference to Diego’s bulk, but is the result of a magical potion that transforms Simone’s companion into a large mammal. Why is this happening, how will they solve the problem? To find out, we invite you to run to the bookstore and buy the volume, you will find much more and you will want on the one hand to read it again, on the other hand to wait for the new chapter!
Author of the graphic novel and of course of our solidarity card is Salvatore Callerami, a Sicilian cartoonist who has been living in Bologna for some time. We thank him for having responded enthusiastically to our proposal and for having fully grasped the spirit of our solidarity stickers, in this case leaving the sports theme and, we could not have done otherwise, with a clear reference to a famous American football team, the Chicago Bears!

Celebrative Sticker #28: PAOLO PULICI!
Pupi forever! The marvellous collaboration with the Museo del Grande Torino continues, celebrating the great champions who wore the legendary “Granata” jersey, leaving their mark. Great captains, great defenders, great hearts, great strikers. The greatest was he, the player with the most goals in the history of Torino FC. As lovers of football and good football stories, we are happy to announce that the Celebrative Sticker # 28 is dedicated to Paolino Pulici!
Paolo or Paolino Pulici makes little difference, for everyone it was Pupi. Able to score 172 goals with the Torino shirt, a record still unbeaten. The pair of goals of wonders together with Ciccio Graziani who will make a great contribution to winning the championship in the 1975/76 season.
Torino fans and all lovers of glorious football teams hope that one day another Scudetto will arrive and who knows another goalscorer, perhaps even more prolific than Pulici, but this would not affect the undisputed love that the people have grenade for one of their warriors.
80 copies of the 172 printed will be donated to the Museum for sale directly at their place, in order to support the museum and cultural activities of a reality that the whole world envies us (https://www.museodeltoro.it/)

Fumetto Forever Card #27: PAOLO BORSELLINO!
LIBERA forever! We are facing an important solidarity card, a first for many reasons. The first with the new graphics of our Comics Cards. The choice is due to the chance to distance ourselves, when necessary, from the sporting reference. This solidarity card is also the first of a, we hope, long series dedicated to the fight against the mafia. The Comic Card # 27 solidarity card is in memory of Paolo Borsellino.
Judge Borsellino is drawn in a moment of relaxation, with his bicycle, which we wanted to design sports so as to maintain a reference, even if light, to our previous Comic Cards. These men and women who for a lifetime have fought the Mafia logic, they were or are people like us, with loves, passions, thoughts that are often part of our life.
The other important novelty is the close synergy, even more than before, of the figurine with the graphic novel to which it is freely linked. It is an even stronger tribute to the world of comics, it is a way for us to support the Ninth Art and its authors and artists in our own small way.
The drawing is made by Gianluca Doretto, author of “Paolo Borsellino, a story to tell” (Renoir Comics, 2021). The comic board on the postcard, placed under the sticker, is taken from the graphic novel, we have chosen a page full of meaning. The Sicilian writer of the graphic novel Marco Sonseri, a friend of Figurine Forever and now also with the role of our fundamental collaborator, with him was born the idea of this sub-series of solidarity stickers against the mafia.
The Comic Cards linked to fight against mafia have an extremely symbolic number, 109, like the law of 1996 for the public and social reuse of assets confiscated from the mafia.
In the case of this solidarity card, Libera is an important reality in our country, it collects associations, names and numbers against the mafias. His work is often hidden but important, we certainly do not think with our stickers that we can make a difference, but if they can contribute to the support, including media, of their work, the result will be achieved.
Paolo Borsellino died in the mafia massacre in via D’Amelio in Palermo on 19 July 1992, with him the men and women of the escort, whom we wanted to remember on the back of the postcard. Many will have noticed that even in the figurine there is the tree that has become a perpetual symbol of remembrance, for all those who, who have never stopped, have the opportunity to go this way in order not to forget.

Fan Forever Card #19: OSKAR (STATUTO)!
Ska forever! Our solidarity cards have crossed musical genres, from singer-songwriters to combat folk, from rock to metal, ska could not be missing and even more so if the protagonist is one who, in Italian musical history, has had its important part. We are happy to announce the Fan Forever Card # 19 of a big heart grenade, Oskar of the Statuto!
A 40-year long musical career, studded with many concerts, our card also celebrates this anniversary which will be remembered next year and is the reason why we chose the 1982/83 season. It is not the only anniversary, 30 years ago, Sanremo 1992, the Statuto are so “convinced” of winning the Sanremo Festival that they choose a song that praises the victory to perform on the Ariston stage. In reality it will not end like this and even the last 30 years, as a Torino FC fan, have been poor in triumphs, but Oskar has been able to create many other occasions and moments to take away great satisfactions.
The Statuto takes their name from the meeting place of the Mods in Turin, an important part in the life of Oskar and the band, which we also wanted to remember in the image of the fans at the stadium that you find on the postcard. Oskar told this and other stories in a book that will also accompany the appointments with our solidarity card.
Oskar has certainly never hidden his passion for Torino FC football, sung in several songs, we like to remember one in particular where another solidarity sticker was involved, naturally a Celebrative, the best scorer in the history of the grenade club, Paolino Pulici.
The initiative was made possible thanks also to the contribution of Barley Arts, a historical reality and leader in organizing concerts in Italy, an agency that follows the concerts of the Turin band.
OSKAR FOR THE MUSEUM OF THE GREAT TORINO! The initiative aims to raise funds to support the Museo del Toro, to continue the collaborative relationship between this important social and cultural museum and our association.

Fumetto Forever Card #26: ENRICO BERLINGUER!
Sardinia Forever! This Comic Card is important for many reasons: it is the first of hopefully a fruitful and new collaboration with the many Sardinian friends who live in Bologna, our city. But it is also the last with the current graphics of the postcard that accompanied us for 26 issues, from number 27 you change! Sooner or last, it is an important solidarity card for its protagonist, Enrico Berlinguer.
Berlinguer is a character who goes beyond the ideas of each of us, he is a man who has been important for the history of Italy, his political passion, his values, his charisma even today, after so many years, remain indelible over time. Enrico was also a proud Sardinian, he deeply loved his land and was also passionate about football as well as sailing.
Berlinguer was from Sassari and a Cagliari fan, we like to think that as a young man he really dreamed of wearing that shirt and we are sure he was proud of what an island team had managed to do, winning a memorable championship. A way in some ways that reflected his political doctrine, firmly convinced that it is right to give everyone the opportunity to be there, to be able to compete, even without the money and the power of the great teams of the north.
To create the solidarity card we involved another exceptional Sardinian, cartoonist Otto Gabos, a Bolognese by adoption, but also strongly linked to his Sardinian origins. Otto has been the protagonist of Italian comics for almost 40 years, if you love author comics, you can’t help but know him. Some of us, lifelong comic book fans, remember him, among the many works, for “The Walkers”, a splendid graphic novel from the early 90s set in Bologna.
FOR SARDINIAN CULTURE! With the proceeds of this new card + postcard, it will be possible to support the activities of the Circolo Sardegna (https://www.circolosardegna.net/)- Bologna and their project of a new cultural center in Bologna

Fumetto Forever Card #25: SECONDO CASADEI!
Romagna forever! Some newspapers have already anticipated our initiative, not even a good piadina was filling the hunger to finally see this design. Finally here it is, unveiled the solidarity Comics Card # 25, dedicated to Secondo Casadei!
“But who, the one who wrote Romagna Mia?”, Yes, he himself. Even if speaking of Secondo limiting himself to just one musical work is really reductive, he was an incredible artist, bringing the folklore of Romagna music to be loved and appreciated in Italy and in the world, a path that, even now, is not at all finished.
More than a thousand recordings, an infinite discography like the dance evenings on the Riviera. The ability, unique more than rare, to know how to make his music universal. We collectors are well aware of feeling the “nostalgia of the past”, of historical albums, stickers, moments and emotions that can be repeated, but never in the same way.
The project was born from an idea of the MEI of Faenza and from the historical Edizioni Musicali Casadei Sonora, thinking that also to Secondo, to his world, to his Romagna, we could dedicate one of our solidarity Comic Card, a proposal that obviously we welcomed with enthusiasm.
We then set off (after all, Romagna is also the land of two-wheeled speed, isn’t it?) To look for a cartoonist who could fully grasp the essence of Secondo Casadei and transform it with a drawing into a figurine. The Piedmontese cartoonist Alessandra Rostagnotto was a precise choice and, after seeing the result, very happy to have contacted her and also that Alessandra made everything possible.
Just by reading her latest graphic novel “Discosogni” (Bao Editions, 2022), we thought that Alessandra, even if not “daughter of Romagna”, could be the right person. The story of Ambra and Giovanni, the two protagonists of his comic, is set on the Riviera, even if the Ligurian one, but it makes no difference; we are sure, thousands of times, even in Sanremo, they have listened to, sang, danced the most famous songs by Casadei. Secondo’s music certainly had no boundaries.
The solidarity card is a tribute to Casadei and to all of Romagna, often synonymous with sun, good food and lots of fun. Whenever possible, our Comics Cards have a sporting reference, which is why Secondo wears the football shirt that, in some way, wants to pay homage to the Romagna team that, no one wants it, has known the flavor of Serie A and also of the Cups European.
Those who know us know that we love details and that, when we can and can, nothing is given to chance. For this reason, the numbered edition is 206 copies, that 06 is not just accidental, it is a deliberate reference to the year of birth of Secondo Casadei, 1906.
With the proceeds of this new card + postcard you can help the ADOTTA CON LA FIGURINA project

Michele forever! In January 2022, a friend of Figurine Forever left us, but above all a boy with a heart of gold, engaged in the front line with the splendid reality of Porta Pazienza, a pizzeria that is much more than a pizzeria, as it is. they define themselves as “we are a social project” (https://portapazienza.bo.it/). In a mix of tears and satisfaction, we are thrilled to announce the solidarity Comic Card # 24, in memory of Michele Ammendola.
Michele, from Bologna by adoption, was a true Neapolitan, a great fan of the Azzurri team. This is why we thought that one way to remember him was to imagine him as the footballer of his beloved Napoli and even with Porta Pazienza as the main sponsor of the team! The edition is also a tribute to his sporting passion, 126 copies, thinking about the year of the club’s birth, 1926.
All this was made possible by the splendid graphic work of the young cartoonist Gloria Goderecci, from Abruzzo but also from Bologna by adoption, author of the recent graphic novel “Death is only the beginning” (Tunuè editions). Dear Michele, even your farewell is only the beginning for us, your commitment and all that of the children of Porta Pazienza, together with other related associations, has never stopped, it has gone further and will continue to do so.
FOR PORTA PAZIENZA! The proceeds will be donated to Porta Pazienza (https://www.portapazienza.bo.it/), a splendid reality in Bologna, defining it as a pizzeria would be very limiting, the goal is to create a critical and conscious consumption model, bringing unique recipes with products from assets confiscated from the mafias and from social farming cooperatives.

Celebrative Sticker #27: GINO BARTALI!
Here you enter the legend! Perhaps even more than football, especially when thinking about the 1900s, it is cycling that has given us the most beautiful, most intense stories of men who have excited a country and who have sometimes divided it or who knows, as some hypothesize, even saved.
Words will never be enough to tell our emotion, joy, satisfaction in being able to pay homage to one of the greatest Italian athletes of all time, one of the greatest cyclists in the world. The Celebrative Sticker # 27 is Gino Bartali!
A great man, also remembered for his human commitment in helping Italian Jews to escape the Nazi-fascist ferocity, an incredible sportsman who has traveled over twenty years at the highest levels, despite the Second World War which caused all competitions to be suspended . Among his many triumphs we wanted to remember perhaps the most famous one, which has become legendary. The victory at the 1948 Tour De France, in the collective imagination, which mixes with myth and legend, is what saved us from a possible civil war after the non-fatal attack on Palmiro Togliatti.
For this reason, the solidarity sticker will be presented in Florence on Friday 15 July at the Bartali Cycling Museum. Exactly 74 years after the famous victory in the Cannes-Briancon leg, the day after the attack on the Secretary of the Italian Communist Party, which took place on 14 July 1948. The particular numbered and limited edition of the solidarity sticker, as often happens with our productions, instead it wants to be a reminder of Gino’s first important victory, the “Coppa Bologna” in 1934, although it is a race that took place in Siena, but we still liked the idea.
We want to thank the Bartali family, Luigi, Bianca Maria, Gioia and Stella with the rest of the family who approved and made possible this project, born to remember Gino Bartali but also to support those who, in the name of ” Ginetaccio ”continues to carry forward the historical memory, the Museum of Cycling – Gino Bartali in Florence.
FOR THE MUSEUM OF CYCLING!
150 copies of the 234 printed will be donated to the Museum for sale directly at their place, in order to support the museum and cultural activities (https://www.ciclomuseo-bartali.it/)

Celebrative Sticker #26: KATIA SERRA!
Katia forever! For a long time we have had the desire to create a sticker dedicated to women’s football, a discipline that is on the rise thanks to the entry of the most important clubs in Italian football, but also, we like to think so, especially for the exciting results of the national team. We are happy and proud to announce that the Celebrative Sticker # 26 is dedicated to Katia Serra!
Our will is to create others in the future, that Katia is the first is not only a pleasure but also to give credit to this player, from Bologna like us, who has been fighting for many years so that women’s football is recognized the right value, both sporty and professional.
Katia was the first on several occasions, the last, unforgettable, as a commentator in the commentary of the Euro 2021 Wembley final for RAI which will see the men’s national team win on penalties against the hosts.
They are two important stories but part of a single big heart and strong passion, which is why in the folder we wanted to celebrate Serra both as a footballer and as the protagonist of our television. The photos cover a good part of his long football career, starting with his debut with his hometown team, Bologna. The edition of the folder, 109 copies, is a small reference to the year the BFC was founded, 1909.
Even the sticker, as always, is not causal. Precisely in the year of the women’s Europeans in England, we want to remember the edition always played in the British country, in 2005, where Italy participated thanks to the victory in the qualifiers, with Katia present on the field, but who due to an injury did not saw her leave for Preston. The blues returned home with three defeats (with France, Germany and Norway), we like to think, let’s say dreaming, that with Serra also on the field things might have gone differently.
The solidarity sticker of Katia Serra will be presented at the eighth edition of FIGUCON, at the Pontelungo Summer Fest, Bologna.
KATIA SERRA FOR THE “ADOTTA CON LA FIGURINA” PROJECT!
The entire proceeds from the sale of this Celebrative Sticker will be used to support the “Adotta con la Figurina – Sticker raising for Solidarity” project where our association annually engages in different solidarity projects, in Madagascar, Bosnia, Argentina and Italy.

Fumetto Forever Card #23: FRANCO GRILLINI!
The marathon for rights never stops! When we thought of this solidarity card, the first idea was to write behind the “arrival” banner, then Franco himself pointed out that there is still a long way to go, there are still many races to be won and every time it is like starting again again, as if for each new hope we return to the departure. We are happy and proud to announce the Fumetto Card # 23 dedicated to Franco Grillini.
Franco Grillini deserves to be celebrated with a card, one of the founders of Arci Gay and of the LILA (Italian League for the Fight against Aids), among the first to bring PRIDE to our country, more generally an important point of reference for those who has at heart freedom and the protection of rights, for all, beyond, for example, sexual orientation.
Its history has been so intense that it has become a “Let’s Kiss” film that it is taking around Italy, loved by both the public and critics, recently winner of the Nastro d’Argento, one of the most important and significant awards in film field.
Figurine Forever is from Bologna and Franco Grillini is a beautiful symbol of our city, of his knowledge of being also democratic, pluralist, tolerant and often ahead of the times compared to the rest of the country. Franco, but also Marcella di Folco’s MIT (our other solidarity card, already sold out) and many other social realities that make us feel “pride” / proud to be its children.
We are equally happy to have involved one of the best cartoonists of the new Italian generation, Flavia Biondi, who has always been very sensitive to LGBT + issues, who has been able to tell with her splendid graphic novels, from “The Generation” to “The gossip” and many others books that we recommend you read. Thanks to Flavia who was able to create a drawing that perfectly expresses the idea with which our solidarity card was born.
FRANCO FOR IAM!
With the proceeds of this new card + postcard, it will be possible to support the activities of IAM – Intersectionalities and more Aps, about beautiful Bolognese realities. IAM is not only an LGBTI association but deals at 360 ° with intersectional identities, especially related to the issues of disability, migration, second generations and aging with a special attention to these topics in connection with sexual and gender minorities .

Celebrative Sticker #25: CONCETTO LO BELLO!
Lo Bello forever! In our series of solidarity stickers we have given space to great footballers, great sportsmen, great sports stories, an iconic president like Renato Dall’Ara, now it’s time to pay homage to the Referee, perhaps the greatest of all time, at least in Italy. The Celebrative Sticker # 25 is dedicated to Concetto Lo Bello.
Concetto Lo Bello was an icon, they were also inspired by him in film productions, if the youngest can think of Collina, all previous generations have lived in the myth of the great Sicilian referee, some fans may have unpleasant memories, because in football only one team wins, but it is undeniable that referees are a fundamental part of football and Concetto was more than others, perhaps all the other referees.
In the sticker we wanted to emphasize his period as referee in Serie A and internationally, 20 years at a great level, in reality, Concetto Lo Bello continued even later, dedicating himself to water polo, his great love. The photos in the folder recalls historical moments, the first and last match (the one where we see De Sisti, our other solidarity card) and also the opportunity to referee assisted by his son Rosario.
The solidarity sticker was presented and distributed to the large audience (referees, former footballers, big names in sport and journalism, exponents of political and sports institutions) on 12 May 2022, in the splendid setting of the Auditorium of the Federal Technical Center of Coverciano, where our President was able to personally deliver copies of his father’s solidarity card to Rosario Lo Bello. A surprise, organized by Giglio Amico, as the family had not been informed of the initiative before. Her emotion in receiving the solidarity card made us proud of what was done, an alternative way by Figurine Forever to support the activities of the Florentine non-profit organization Giglio Amico.

Not only that, it will become a fixed appointment, every time there is a FIGUCON, there will be a new solidarity card. Exclusively for the event, it will not be available on our website afterwards.

Do you recognize all the Kings and Queens of Rome on the front of the postcard? The cards, on the other hand, are dedicated to two footballers who are absolute idols of their respective fans, each one being able to choose their favorite champion.
Limited and numbered overall edition in 120 copies, the postcard, 60 each of the two cards. The matching is random between the number of the postcard and the card, except for the number 9 which will be linked to the Giorgio Chinaglia card and the number 10 to the Francesco Totti card.

Fan Forever Card #18: FRANCESCO DI GIACOMO!
Italian Rock Forever! There are bands and artists that the whole world envies us, we are the homeland of opera and light music, but also in rock, especially in progressive, our school is loved internationally. Not one, but several artists, not one, but several bands. Area, Pfm, etc. and the Banco di Mutuo Soccorso. The FanFover Card # 18 is dedicated to the splendid voice of the Roman band, Francesco Di Giacomo!
Francesco, born in Sardinia, moved to Rome as a child and over the years he will be able to savor all its beauty, including sporting passion. Disappeared in a car accident in 2014, he was a great lover of sports, his wife Antonella told us that he often got up in the middle of the night when the Olympics or other competitions were taking place in distant countries and therefore at unlikely times. He was also a big fan of AS Roma.
The solidarity card represents him as a footballer for the “Giallorossi” club, 1971/72 season. The choice, as always is not accidental, in September 1971 Di Giacomo, during the Caracalla festival, comes into contact with the band that at the beginning of 1972 will take the final name of Banco di Mutuo Soccorso.
The color of the shirt, white, is a reference to the stickers of that season, as the Roma players are photographed. But we thought it would be a shame not to see Francesco also in the classic club shirt and so we made a variant. The solidarity cards, issued in 199 numbered and limited copies, are therefore from 1 to 100 with the 1971/72 shirt and from 101 to 199 with the more generic yellow and red shirt.
The initiative was made possible thanks to the friends of Music Day – Fiera del Disco in Rome and is carried out in collaboration with MEI, we will continue to celebrate Francesco also at the 2022 edition of the Independent Label Meetings at the beginning of October 2022. A heartfelt thanks to Antonella Caspoli, Francesco’s wife, for giving us the opportunity to realize this little dream of paying homage to a great protagonist of Italian rock. Thanks also to Fabio Massimo Iaquone, author of the splendid photo from which the solidarity card was made.

Celebrative Sticker #24: RUGGERO BAGIALEMANI!
Ruggero Forever! Baseball is a marvelllous sport, if we were in the US some of our champions would be absolute myths, highly sought after even in stickers. In Italy it is different, but a champion is a champion and we are happy to make the second solidarity card dedicated to Baseball. After Alberto “Toro” Rinaldi, the Celebrative Sticker # 24 is the symbol of Nettuno and the Italian national team, Ruggero Bagialemani.
The two champions also have in common the jersey number, the number 20, which no one else will be able to wear because their respective clubs, Fortitudo for Toro and Nettuno for Ruggero have withdrawn it. Not only that, Ruggero declared that the choice of that number is precisely to pay tribute to the great Rinaldi. Now the two champions not only share the jersey number, but both be a Celebrative Sticker!
Not just Nettuno! Ruggero Bagialemani is also a record man for the Italian national team, he has participated in 3 Olympics and 7 world championships. The solidarity card wants to celebrate both his long career in the club of the city near Rome, but also the charm of this incredible sport. For this reason, the printing is 108 copies, like the seams on a baseball. A number that will also remain in the future solidarity cards we will make for baseball, after all, as they say, there is no 2 without 3.
Fundamental partner to create this new solidarity card, was Il Bar del Baseball, the most important reality for all fans in Italy. While waiting for the dream of a Baseball Museum in Nettuno to become a reality, a place to visit, the work they carry out is commendable.
Baseball and the city of Nettuno are one, for the first time our solidarity card has the honor (but also the burden) of being sponsored by a public institution. Thanks to the Municipality and also to the Pro Loco di Nettuno for having joined and supported our initiative.
RUGGERO BAGIALEMANI FOR THE “ADOTTA CON LA FIGURINA” PROJECT!

Fan Forever Card #17: STEFANO AMBROGI!
Mandrakata forever! Now we can say it, on the occasion of FIGUCON 7 in Rome we were very keen to create something related to the world of cinema, in the Eternal City, in the city of cinema. We are happy to have had the opportunity to involve a beloved face, especially in Rome but not only.
The FanForever Card # 17 is dedicated to Stefano Ambrogi, film, television and theater actor. He has worked with great names such as Carlo Verdone, Gigi Proietti and Carlo Vanzina. We remember him in important roles in cult films such as “They Called Him Jeeg Robot” or “Horse Fever” and in many of the most important television productions of the last 20 years.
Stefano is also an avid Lazio fan, we could have chosen for his solidarity card the year of his birth or his debut in the cinema, but also on his recommendation we have chosen to dress him as the “biancoceleste” footballer of the first championship and his idol Vincenzo D’Amico.
The presentation will be one of the great moments of FIGUCON 7, organized within the 33rd edition of Music Day, the Rome Disco Fair, our partners also in the creation of this new solidarity card.
Stefano Ambrogi will be with us on Saturday 7 May in the afternoon, for the meeting on stage and then for the signing of copies at the Figurine Forever stand. An incredible opportunity to get to know him, get involved in his irresistible sympathy and of course have your own copy of the card signed!
STEFANO AMBROGI FOR MADAGASCAR! We thank Stefano for the availability and sympathy to join our initiative. The proceeds will be entirely donated to the ADOTTA CON LA FIGURINA initiative to support long distance adoptions in Madagascar.

FUMETTO FOREVER CARD #22: FRED BUSCAGLIONE!
Fred Forever! The Comic Card # 22 is a mix of emotions, of memories that seem distant in time, but which on the contrary are alive and strong, in the hearts of fans, fans and all Italians. We are pleased to present the solidarity card of the immense Fred Buscaglione with the Grande Torino shirt.
However, 1949 was an unforgettable year. Tragic, unique, exciting. On the one hand, a football team, Torino, which had been dominating for several years in Italy and also in Europe, disappeared. Perhaps not the strongest team of all time (impossible to make comparisons between different eras) but certainly the most loved, by all, even if the heart is not grenade.
Also in 1949 the musical career of Fred Buscaglione definitely took off, thanks to the creation of the orchestral group Asternovas and hundreds of concerts up and down the boot. While we wept for the Superga massacre, we danced with Fred, with the city of Turin in our hearts.
The idea of creating a supportive cartoon figurine of Fred was born thanks to the collaboration with Giacomo Taddeo Traini, author of the graphic novel “Swing, barbera and Fred” (Edizioni Becco Giallo, 2022), on the centenary of the birth of the great Buscaglione . Giacomo enthusiastically responded to our proposal and created the perfect sticker, in full harmony with the intent of the project, Fred’s light-hearted gaze, the Grande Torino shirt, in the background the symbols of the city Turin. The edition of the figurine, 149, has a precise meaning.
An important partner of the initiative is the MEI in Faenza, the Meeting of Independent Labels has always carried out an incredible job of enhancing and promoting Italian music. Involving them in the project was not just a pleasure, almost a duty.

FUMETTO FOREVER CARD #21: MUHAMMAD ALI!
Boxing Forever! Making a ranking of the greatest boxers of all time is difficult, each one has its own myths. We, influenced by cinema and comics, could not fail to include Rocky Balboa even if they were “only” movies and Rocky Joe, even if it was “only” a manga and later a cartoon.
There is a name that probably everyone agrees, born exactly 80 years old, the champion that everyone loved, so much so that he became a pop icon, but even more a point of reference for the battles on civil rights and against war in Vietnam. The Comic Card # 21 is dedicated to the great Cassius Clay alias Muhammad Ali.
An incredible athlete who has a special bond with our country, when at just 22 he won the gold medal at the Rome Olympics in 1960. Many of his battles in the ring are famous, the fight in Zaire against George Foreman has become legendary. known as “Rumble in the jungle”.
An excellent way to learn more about the history of the great champion is the graphic novel “Muhammad Alì”, written by Francesco Barilli and designed by Lele Corvi for Double Shot Edizioni, from which our figurine is freely taken. Limited edition of 142 copies, just in memory of 1942, the year of birth of the great champion.
The first official release of the solidarity card will be Friday 29 April, at the Ex Centrale, on the occasion of the “Rumble in the Jungle” in Bologna, with the first professional match of the Italian champion Pamela Noutcho Sawa, who was also our solidarity card as Celebrative Sticker # 11. Event organized by our friends of the Bolognina Boxe Social Gym, to which the solidarity stickers of Pamela, the set of the Bolognese rockers Magenta # 9 and of course also this one were destined.
MUHAMMAD ALI for BOLOGNINA BOXE!
With the proceeds of this new card + postcard, it will be possible to support the activities of the ASD Bolognina Boxe Social Gym, a reality born in 2017, which soon became a reference point in Bologna and beyond, strongly based on the belief that the right to sport must be accessible. to all, without differentiation of sex, religion, race and social background.

Celebrative Sticker #23: BRUNO NERI!
Bruno Neri Forever! Exactly one year ago we presented the Celebrative Sticker # 10 dedicated to the partisan footballer, the initiative met with incredible enthusiasm, so much so that the 99 copies of the solidarity sticker sold out in a very short time.
From many sides they asked us for a reprint, but our solidarity stickers do not provide for it, so we made an appointment for 2022. The footballer, who died partisan on 10 July 1944, during a firefight with the Nazis, made famous by a famous photograph that he portrays him at the Florence Stadium, in 1931, while he does not pay homage to the fascist hierarchs.
If the first sticker was a “what if”, imagining Neri as the footballer of the 1938 world champion national team, this time we have traveled a good part of his sporting life, celebrating not only the man but also his city, Faenza, which gave him entitled the stadium and a plaque where he lived, which we decided to add to the folder.
For these reasons the stickers of Bruno Neri are: . in his last season, as a player at Faenza, printed in 99 copies . with the Fiorentina shirt in the 1931/32 season, printed in 50 copies . with the FC Torino shirt in the 1938/39 season, printed in 50 copies, where the player from Romagna scores his only goal with the grenade shirt and it is also the season before the outbreak of the Second World War.
In the folder there is also a large image with the Torino shirt. Some photos are the same as the first solidarity sticker, unfortunately there is very little photographic material on Bruno Neri, but the colors of his shirts are updated, especially that of Fiorentina where he does not make the fascist salute. In the Celebrative Sticker # 10 he wore the blue shirt, in this the most real purple shirt, the same colors of that day.
Finally, we also wanted to celebrate the other Neri of Faenza, Giacomo, six years younger than Bruno, a footballer for Juventus, Genoa and Inter and also for the national team. The photo shows them together, Neri I and Neri II, two very different stories but both of which have brought the white and blue colors of their city to their hearts.
We recently remembered Vittorio Staccione, a footballer deported and killed in Mauthausen, Bruno Neri’s teammate in Florence, both players of Turin but at different times. The “legend” tells that they were friends, they certainly shared the same negative sentiment towards ideology and even more so about fascist practices.

The solidarity Celebrative Sticker # 22 is, like the previous one by Olga Kharlan, dedicated to fencing and Luigi Samele!

Celebrative Sticker #21: OLGA KHARLAN!
Fencing forever! We are happy to finally be able to pay homage to this splendid discipline and do so with an international champion, an Olympic gold medalist, several times on the European and world throne. The Celebrative Sticker # 21 solidarity figurine is dedicated to fencing and Olga Kharlan!
Olga is an absolute icon of sport in her country, her popularity goes beyond fencing, so much so that Mattel decided to create a Barbie doll in her honor. But it is from fencing that everything comes and it is thanks to sporting successes that Olga is known, appreciated and followed.
In this difficult period for Peace, it is even more significant to pay tribute to the Ukrainian champion, but the athlete must be celebrated as such, we would have done it anyway, in the strong hope and deepest desire that the only “battles” could return to be only those in a ring, on a playing field or on a platform, as in the case of fencing.

FUMETTO FOREVER CARD #20: SANDRO DOSSI!
Geppo forever! Between the 40s and the 60s of the last century, we probably experienced the golden age of Italian serial comics, with the birth of an incredible number of characters, of many genres. One on which we really made the difference was the humorous genre, where we were able to reinvent American comics such as Popeye or Felix the cat (even at Disney we left our mark), but above all to create new ones, many, many.
The list is long, from Tiramolla to Soldino, from Pugacioff to Nonna Abelarda. Among these was a devil, who dreamed of being good and leaving hell. We are happy and excited to announce the solidarity Fumetto Card # 20 dedicated to the legendary GEPPO!
Among the many great artists who have alternated over the years (Carpi, Sangalli, etc.), Sandro Dossi certainly deserves a place of honor, his unmistakable trait we remember in many issues of comics that for decades children (not only them ..) have bought at newsstands.
Sandro enthusiastically embraced our proposal and we thank him, of course the good devil could only take on the role of the AC Milan player, his favorite team, including Dossi himself.
GEPPO for WOW MUSEUM!
100 copies of the 160 printed will be donated to the WOW Comics Museum of Milano to support their activities. For these 100 copies, please contact the Museum directly (http://www.museowow.it/). For the other 60 managed by our Association, refer to the information below.

FUMETTO FOREVER CARD #19: MATTHIAS SINDELAR!
Sindelar Forever!
April 3, 1938, one last match is granted before the annexation to Germany. Austria is one of the greatest teams of the 1920s and 1930s, not surprisingly called the “Wunderteam”, capable of winning the 1931-1932 International Cup, an important tournament, previously won by Italy coach Pozzo who will later become two-time world champion. Captain and star of that formation is Matthias Sindelar, the protagonist of our solidarity Fumetto Card # 19.
The agreement requested by the Germans was to play “light”, but the Austrians were not so available, Matthias in the first place, who played the game of his life and in the end the final result saw Hitler’s national team lose 2-0, but it could have been much heavier.
The initiative was made possible thanks to the availability of Carlo Rispoli, author with Carlo Bazan of the graphic novel “The Sindelar case” (Signs of the Author, 2020), who designed not one but two solidarity cards.
Limited and numbered edition card + postcard, 69 copies per card, for a total of 138, where that (1) 38 is a clear reference to the famous lot.
Partners of the initiative are Anafi and Lucca Collezionando, who enthusiastically embraced both the editorial proposal and its solidarity purpose, like all our stickers. For this reason, the Fumetto Card # 19 will be available in an exclusive preview during the Lucca festival, Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 April 2022, at the Anafi stand, with a presentation to the public scheduled for Sunday 3 April in the afternoon, in the presence of the author Carlo Rispoli.

FUMETTO FOREVER CARD #18: FRANCESCO LORUSSO!
Francesco lives! For us who live and live in Bologna, it is impossible not to know the sad events of March ’77, it is impossible not to know who was a boy, full of ideals, an activist in the student movement and in Lotta Continua, engaged in social and sporting activities. The Comic Card # 18 is dedicated to Francesco Lorusso.
It is not our role, nor our intention, to judge what happened. We want to keep his memory alive, for this reason we have created the solidarity stickers, a young man who is always smiling in the photos that portray him. Bologna today is very far from the seventies, but the desire to be, to democracy, to participate should never be lacking.
Francesco was a rugby player, with a past in the Pesaro club. Much more than other occasions with our solidarity stickers, representing him with a game shirt is not risky. Indeed, given that we often work in the field of “ifs”, that is, of hypotheses, of stories that may have gone differently, we like to imagine that that morning of 11 March 1977, Francesco is not hit by a bullet, but returns home to study, to become a doctor (he was a student of the Faculty of Medicine) and, in his free time, to continue playing with the oval ball.
The initiative was made possible by the splendid drawing by Hellobea (Beatrice Tinarelli), a designer from Bologna, very popular especially in the field of children’s illustration books. We like the typology of Beatrice’s works to have been made available to commemorate a tragic moment in the history of our city and our country. It almost seems like a contrast but it is exactly the opposite.

Celebrative Sticker #20: VITTORIO STACCIONE!
Vittorio Staccione Forever! So that the memory of Vittorio, of his history, of all the stories related to the political and racial persecutions of fascism and the consequent, for many, deportation to Nazi concentration camps, may never be forgotten, may never be “a history of other times” , to be placed in the drawer.
We are happy and proud to announce the Celebrative Sticker # 20 solidarity sticker, dedicated to Vittorio Staccione. The sporting and human history of the turin footballer goes hand in hand with the darkest twenty years in Italy.
The refusal to bow to Mussolini’s regime undoubtedly made Vittorio’s career as a footballer very complicated; despite the intimidation and even the repeated physical violence suffered by the fascist squads, Staccione on the playing field was able to leave his mark, both in his beloved Torino FC, where he grew up, and later in Cremonese, Fiorentina and Cosenza.
Intense, bitter story, more than others worthy of becoming a film, which is well told in Francesco Veltri’s book “Il mediano di Mauthausen” (Diarkos editions, 2019), thanks also to the collaboration with Federico Molinario, Vittorio’s nephew. It is above all thanks to Federico and the Grande Torino Museum that put us in contact if we were able to carry out this project; thanks also to the Panathlon Club of Cremona and to the Fiorentina Museum if the memory of Staccione is still alive.
Vittorio Staccione, on 12 March 1944, was arrested by the police in Turin and handed over to the SS to be deported to concentration camps, he died in Mauthausen on 16 March 1945; his brother Francesco, deported to the same concentration camp, will follow him nine days later.
For the solidarity sticler, we assumed that history had gone differently, that Italy was a better country in those years and that therefore Vittorio Staccione, solely for his proven football skills, could make his debut and become a protagonist also in the national team. He too triumphed at the International Tournament held between 1927 and 1930, forerunner of that winning Italy of coach Pozzo who will bring the Azzurri to the throne of the world twice in the following 8 years.
TOGETHER for ANED!
With the proceeds of this new solidarity sticker + folder, it will be possible to support the activities of ANED the National Association Ex Deported in the nazi camps (http://www.deportati.it/?lang=en); we strongly feel the need to keep the memory of what happened alive and daily, because it should never happen again. At the same time, 60 copies will be donated to the Grande Torino Museum for sale at their in-house shop. We want to remember Vittorio Staccione both for the great man, persecuted, that he was, and for the great footballer, as the facts say, that he was.

Celebrative Sticker #19: RENATO DALL’ARA!
“So you play only in heaven”. The history of football is also that of great personalities who have allowed thousands of fans to dream with their favorite team. In Bologna this role is certainly destined for a special person, the Celebrative Sticker # 19 solidarity sticker is Renato Dall’Ara, the president of five Bologna FC championships, of the two victories in the Mitropa Cup when it was still a high level tournament (the Champions Cup had yet to be born) and to which Dall’Ara cared in particular.
30 years at the helm of the Rossoblu club, the fans, not only from Bologna, mainly remember that last Scudetto won in the extra match in Rome against Inter, the 1963/64 season, a victory that Renato Dall’Ara was unable to celebrate. struck down by a heart attack just four days ago. That Bologna of miracles, which has returned to the top of Italian football after so many years, owes a great deal to this entrepreneur and his vision of football and how to manage a company.
The initiative was made possible thanks to a really important pool of collaborations, starting from the Dall’Ara family who enthusiastically married our initiative, from Minerva Edizioni, with whom the Stadio / Corriere dello Sport journalist Marco Tarozzi wrote the book “Dall’Ara. Renato it’s me ”, recently released in the bookstore. Finally, the possibility of using the splendid photos of the Walter Breveglieri Archive, the history of Bolognese life for several decades.
RENATO DALL’ARA for the “ADOTTA CON LA FIGURINA” PROJECT!
The entire proceeds from the sale of this Celebrative Sticker will be used to support the “Adotta con la Figurina – Sticker raising for Solidarity” project where our association annually engages in different solidarity projects, in Madagascar, Bosnia, Argentina and Italy.

FanForever Card #16: LUCA CARBONI!
“Son partito da Bologna, con le luci della sera ..“. The city of Bologna has many artists who have sung and celebrated it, such as Lucio Dalla, but he is not the only one. There is another great singer-songwriter who has shown love for his city in so many songs, one who as a child dreamed of being a gas station attendant. We are happy to announce the FanForever # 16 solidarity card in collaboration with Luca Carboni!
We could only create a particular card, not linked to the year of Luca’s birth or to other anniversaries, but that would take up the verse of one of his songs that has become an icon, a symbol: “The Bologna shirt 7 days a week ”So every jersey of every sporting season could fit. In this case and we thank him, Luca Carboni wanted to give us a 100% real image, wearing the 2021-22 shirt to take the necessary photo of our figurina. Nino Saetti, his official photographer, immortalized it beautifully.
The first solidarity card of 2022! Exactly 30 years after “Carboni”, an incredible success and, in turn, the first album of 1992, as also reported on the cover. Songs still current and much loved by many fans, both by those who bought it then, and by the younger ones who met Luca later. “Mare mare”, “La mia città”, “Le storie d’amore”, a long series of singles from the charts.

Fumetto Forever Card #17: BUD SPENCER!
We are always excited to announce a new solidarity card, in this case we are just as little bit incredulous and certainly very happy to be able to pay homage to a myth. The ComicCard # 17 is Carlo Pedersoli, aka BUD SPENCER!
The initiative was made possible thanks to the splendid and fruitful collaboration both with the Pedersoli family (we thank Cristiana, Diamante and Giuseppe Pedersoli) and with Marco Sonseri and Roberto Lauciello, authors of the comic biography of the great Italian actor, released this year with ReNoir Comics.
As you know, our Fumetto Cards always have a sporting reference, in the case of Bud Spencer we also wanted to pay homage to his hometown, to which he has always remained very attached, Naples. We also wanted to remember the most unforgettable period for Neapolitan fans, which is why Bud wears the jersey of the times of Diego Armando Maradona who, together with many other champions, led the club to win in Italy and in Europe.
It is not the only reference you will find, the particular edition of the solidarity card is a reference to one of Bud Spencer’s most loved films, 163 numbered copies, 63 as the jersey number that the gentle giant wore in “They Called Him Bulldozer”.
Exclusive preview at FIGUCON 2022! The solidarity card will be presented as an absolute preview at the traditional event organized by the Figurine Forever Association, scheduled for next January 15th at Estragon Club, Bologna.

FUMETTO CARD EXTRA: FOREVER YOUNG
December 6, 2021, 31 years after the Salvemini tragedy, the members of the Association expressed their desire to pay homage to the students of the Bolognese school hit by a damaged military plane on December 6, 1990. The circulation was just 33 numbered copies , like the cap of Casalecchio di Reno where the Salvemini Institute is located. The few copies available were distributed to the shareholders who had made a previous request as well as providing some copies to the author of the drawing Giuseppe Lenzone, whom we thank.
The famous photo of the 2nd A class has been revisited following the editorial line of our solidarity stickers, which is why we imagined the boys with the Casalecchio Calcio shirt, just 100 years after its foundation. It is part of our Comics Card but as an “extra” issue, which is why you cannot find it among our publications open to all. 16 unnumbered copies were also printed, which will be delivered to the Municipality of Casalecchio, should any of the families request a copy. Forever Young.
ONLY FORever FANS 2022: DIEGO!
In 2022 the ONLY FORever FANS card, distributed exclusively to our members, is a tribute to Diego Armando Maradona, the greatest of the greats, who left us really too soon. The initiative was carried out thanks to the splendid drawing made by Alan Greco, the photos around that trace Diego’s career, are instead taken from some stickers produced by Edizioni Amateur Qubotondo, which makes all our solidarity stickers.
The name of the card “Campiò”, a quote from a splendid song by the Neapolitan artist Nino D’Angelo, is also our tribute to Naples, a city that has always shown an uncontrollable love for Diego and you will never stop doing it.
The card + postcard, unlike the other solidarity stickers, does not have a progressive numbering, 100 copies were printed, some of which donated to the designer.
Some copies are still available for any new members who would like to have a copy.
Celebrative Stickers #18: GIANNI DE MAGISTRIS!
Waterpolo Forever! Another beautiful sport, a sport where Italy is a symbol of great victories, becomes the protagonist of our solidarity stickers. Water polo has many fans and a glorious history, we could only celebrate it with one of the greatest of all time. We are happy and proud to announce the Celebrative Sticker # 18 dedicated to Gianni De Magistris!
His career has reached important milestones, both in the role of club player, both in the role of national team player, and in the role of manager. The folder that accompanies our solidarity card is therefore celebratory of a long career that led him to win 3 Italian championships with the Rari Nantes, 1 world championship with the national team and 5 participations in the Olympics, with the silver medal of Montreal ’76.
His subsequent career as a coach also made him inimitable, thanks to the splendid “triplete” of Fiorentina Waterpolo, where his daughter Mila, also a high-level player, made her debut. For the first time and for now also the only one, the Viola city took home the Scudetto, Champions Cup and European Super Cup in just one year.
The sticker instead celebrates his long career with the Rari Nantes Florentia, 21 unforgettable, perhaps unrepeatable years. Certainly unique. Having Gianni among our solidarity stickers is a source of great pride.
DE MAGISTRIS FOR GIGLIO AMICO ONLUS! The proceeds from the sale of the solidarity card are intended to support the activities of the Giglio Amico Onlus Association of Florence (https://www.giglioamico.it/), historic and important Florentine reality, with strong purple hues, for 25 years engaged in solidarity field. Reality with which Figurine Forever has already had the opportunity to collaborate and support, proud to renew this partnership.

FanForever Card #15: NOVELLO NOVELLI!
“Forty years at SIP ..”, after 14 solidarity cards linked to personalities from the world of music, we are happy to announce the film premiere, Fan Forever # 15 is dedicated to the great Novello Novelli! The Tuscan actor, seen in many films by Francesco Nuti, Alessandro Benvenuti, but also Mario Monicelli, Giovanni Veronesi and many others.
His facial expressions were a trademark, which became a strong point of Italian comedy. Many watching the various films were anxiously awaiting when Novelli would appear. After a career as a theatrical impresario, he went on to become an actor, probably by chance, in the film “Ad Ovest di Paperino”, 1981, together with his longtime friend Francesco Nuti as well as two other monuments of Florentine cinema such as Alessandro Benvenuti and Athina Cenci, who then formed a trio with the name of “Giancattivi”.
Precisely from that film we remember the famous scene where Novello recounted, with every single fold of his face, the experience of 40 years as a Sip worker (the old Telecom, for the youngest ..). 1981-2021, forty years after his debut in the cinema we had the opportunity to celebrate him with the Fiorentina shirt, of which he was a great fan.
Novello Novelli, born in 1930, left us in 2018, we were able to make the solidarity card thanks to the availability of his wife Silvana, whom we will never stop thanking for her availability and for the memories and anecdotes shared with us. History of Italian cinema, Novello is a worthy representative of it.

Celebrative Sticker #17: VENUSTE NIYONGABO!
Burundi forever! Finally after 16 issues we have the opportunity to celebrate the wonderful world of athletics as well. We do it with an authentic monument of African sport, with a gold medal at the Olympics, with a friend also from our Italy and our Bologna where he has lived for some time. The Celebrative Sticker # 17 solidarity sticker is Mr. Atlanta ’96: Venuste Niyongabo!
Sometimes in sport as in life the choices that are made lead to unexpected results, perhaps for others, not for Venuste. We are sure that when the Burundian athlete gave up running the 1500m in Atlanta, where he was among the favorites, to give a dream to his compatriot, he was equally convinced that he could play his cards even in the 5000m. However, Venuste will win that race and bring his country to triumph with the gold medal, the first for Burundi.
25 years have passed since that triumph, could we not take advantage of it to celebrate a historic victory? Venuste now lives in Bologna, he continues to run and make others run through the Run Like Us Association, as well as his social commitment through various realities including the important reality of Peace and Sport, supported by many current sportsmen and past, now also from Figurine Forever (https://www.peace-sport.org/)
VENUSTE NIYONGABOFOR BURUNDI! Beneficiaries of this new solidarity card is the KAMENGE Youth Center, a meeting place for young people from the Northern Districts of Bujumbura. A project that focuses on the implementation of the Peace and Sport Methodology. The Center in 2012 received the “Right Livelihood Award”, better known as the “Alternative Nobel Prize”, for its action in favor of dialogue between ethnic groups. This program to contribute to a culture of peace through sport is supported by the World Association of the Diaspora (the Burundians who live and work abroad) of which Venuste is Secretary General.

Celebrative Sticker #16: GIOVANNI DE PRA’!
100 of these years Genoa 1893! With a certain pride and emotion we are happy to announce the Celebrative Sticker #16 solidarity sticker dedicated to the great goalkeeper Giovanni De Prà, in the centenary of his debut in Genoa football club.
From that distant 1921 and for many more years, even winning two league titles, the goalkeeper would have defended the goal of the oldest club in Italian football. An incredible and indestructible bond with the colors of his city, so much so that he refused important offers from other clubs. A bond that continued throughout his life.
Giovanni De Prà was one of the greatest Italian goalkeepers of the twentieth century, perhaps less celebrated because he was part of an era where there were still no televisions or even mass stickers, but in Genoa they have not forgotten him and never will. His greatness also allowed the national team to achieve results and satisfactions, in particular third place at the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics, an event that is seen by many as the anticipation of the World Cup which will have its first edition only two years later.
We are equally proud to have established a collaboration with the Museum of the History of Genoa, an important cultural reality for our country; the oldest football club in Italy meets Figurine Forever and we could not have chosen a more iconographic footballer to sanction this union.
100 copies of the 193 printed copies will be donated to the Genoa History Museum to support their activities and their commitment to keeping the historical memory of this incredible team alive. The choice to print 193 copies and not 199 or 160 as is our tradition, is a clear tribute to the year of birth of the Ligurian club, 1893.

FumettoForever Card #16: MASSIMO CAVEZZALI!
You’ll never swap alone! Our solidarity stickers have reached 50 releases, could we not celebrate this milestone with something extraordinary? We are thrilled to announce the Comic Card # 16 solidarity card, created by the legendary Massimo Cavezzali!
Massimo Cavezzali is synonymous with the history of Italian humorous comics, linked to the world of strips but not only. We loved him in the stories of the Dolline, the Dio Spa, Ava but also in his comic biographies on the great musicians, the one on Vasco Rossi is memorable and highly sought after. Right in this period, Cavezzali is in bookstores and comic shops with the new work “Comic submarine” (Vololibero Edizioni), the opportunity was too tempting not to try to contact him and his response was incredible, we thank him for this.
Our Comic Card solidarity stickers always have a sporting connotation, in this case it was easy, John, Paul, George and Ringo portrayed as Liverpool FC footballers. Four unpublished drawings made by Cavezzali for our edition.
In the beginning we had thought of making a single card, but Max’s drawings were too beautiful to combine them and therefore it was decided to make a monumental edition of 4 cards + postcards. Each of them is limited edition and numbered to 99 copies. We have also decided to add the number 50 behind our logo to celebrate this splendid achievement.
Consequently, the numbering restarts from 1 to 99 for each different solidarity card: . #16/1 John Lennon . #16/2 Paul McCartney . #16/3 George Harrison . #16/4 Ringo Starr
The set of 4 solidarity cards Fumetto Card # 16 will be presented in an exclusive preview at the Bologna Disco, Figurine and Comic Book Fair on 27/28 November 2021 at BolognaFiere, an event organized by Kolosseo.

FumettoForever Card #15: ADRIANO CARNEVALI!
Ronfi Forever! A great classic of Italian comics, a historical magazine of Italian comics. We are pleased to announce the Solidarity Comic Card # 15 dedicated to the Ronfi by Adriano Carnevali, on the occasion of an important anniversary.
A hundred of these years! In 1981, exactly forty years ago, the Ronfi were born in the legendary Corriere dei Piccoli: the laziest rodents in the world have since conquered generations of readers. This is why we decided to celebrate them with one, or rather two of our cards. We are in Milano, and it’s derby! The Comic Card # 15 is printed in 160 copies, numbered, from 1 to 80 we find the Ronfo/Inter, from 81 to 160 the Ronfo/Milan. Of course the jerseys are those of 1981. Let’s see which one finishes first and wins the derby!
RONFI for WOW MUSEUM!
100 copies of the 160 printed will be donated to the WOW Comics Museum of Milano to support their activities. For these 100 copies, please contact the Museum directly (http://www.museowow.it/). For the other 60 managed by our Association, refer to the information below.

WRESTLING FOREVER!
“It is still time for heroes”, the end of 2021 is approaching and there is still a lack of funds for three long distance adoptions, of the 11 planned annuals, for the boys and girls of the Mondobimbi Tafita Village in Tulear, Madagascar. After the splendid result in 2020, we would like to repeat this year too.
For this reason we decided to involve a wrestling hero, Red Scorpion, several times champion of Italy and Europe, an icon among wrestlers, the flying man with a big heart who immediately made himself available. He is a wrestler loved by the little ones as much as by the biggest fans, not only in Italy. Our first card dedicated to wrestling could only be him.
Wrestling has show and exaggerations in its DNA, we wanted to do the same, creating not only one but three solidarity cards + respective postcards, we find them fantastic, what do you think?
The three Wrestling Forever cards are not available separately and are collected in a personalized envelope with the same sequential number.

FumettoForever Card #14: LUCA BERLATI!
Berluca Forever! We are happy to announce the solidarity Comic Card # 14, created by Luca Berlati, cartoonist with more than 30.000 followers on Instagram, resident in Cesena but, as can be seen from the image, born in Rome and “Romanist of Rome”.
We had the pleasure of reading his first graphic novel “Qua tutto al posto” (Shockdom Edizioni, 2021) and were pleasantly surprised. It is an autobiographical story, in different parts some of us can certainly be found, the drawing page after page makes it very well. A strong but also delicate story, perhaps one of the “everyday stories” as Riccardo Fogli sang, but an intense and beautiful story to tell, as much as reading it.

“It can be done!”. Perhaps some of you, we can hardly believe it, have never seen Frankenstein Jr. (Young Frankenstein), but we challenge anyone to tell us they have never heard of it. Either way, run and see it, then come back here.
We are happy to announce the Fumetto Card # 13, created by Isabella Di Leo, cartoonist but also a sincere lover of cinema and in particular of Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder. Thanks to the two of them and their professional union, a film was born that rightly entered the myth, the costume, the tradition of cinema. Mel and Gene were also friends, they made several films together, but Young Frankenstein remains, even in terms of success, the most successful.
Isabella Di Leo has created a splendid graphic novel (Edizioni Becco Giallo) that tells the story of the friendship between Mel and Gene and of the film, the path that led them to its realization. Di Leo did an amazing job of documenting. As collectors as we are, however long and exhausting, we are sure she had a lot of fun.
Our Fumetto Cards always have a sporting reference, it is our “trademark” that distinguishes us. Here we did not have to investigate the passions of the two myths of American cinema, it was enough to read the comic (we do not want to anticipate anything), but the two crazy people had a passion for tennis. Maybe not to participate in the US OPEN, but their victories have collected them in other fields.

FumettoForever Card #12: FEDERICO ALDROVANDI!
Aldro Forever. Our solidarity stickers have always the aim of raising awareness, making people known but also remembering. The Comic Card # 12 was born with this intent, to remember the story of Federico Aldrovandi. A boy, like so many others, killed during a police check, returning from a night at the disco, like so many others.
It is not our task nor our intention to be judges, as ordinary citizens we are still today, after 16 years, incredulous of what happened, perpetrated by representatives of the state. This is why it is important not to forget Federico.
The initiative is made possible thanks to the support of the girls and boys of the Curva Ovest, the ultras of SPAL. They responded with enthusiasm and participation to our proposal and with them we contacted Alberto Lunghini, a well-known designer from Ferrara. For this card, for Federico, we wanted an author from the city. Furthermore, Lunghini drew Ferrara and the people of Ferrara, SPAL and its supporters among his works. There could not have been a better choice.
The card is also rich in meanings, always with a sporty approach (in this case even more so given the involvement of the ultras, always at the forefront in demanding justice for Aldro) but with messages that perhaps need to be explained. We wanted to design Aldro as a Spal player, the bycicle kick is the thought that what happened erased the dreams of a boy, including those of when, attacking the players’ stickers, he dreamed one day of scoring a goal, perhaps in his stadium, in front to its people.
ALDRO FOR AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL!
The proceeds will be used to support the activities of Amnesty International Italy, not in general, by the will of all those involved in the production of the solidarity card, but expressly for the “Immediate Identification Codes” campaign to provide for identification measures for agents engaged in transactions of public order.
Given the probable high demand for the solidarity card, we decided, for the first time, to print not 150 but 300 copies, always numbered and limited, without providing for reprints. In the hope that our initiative will be successful, we like to think that we will be able to meet in Ferrara, in a year, to present a new Federico card, different from the first one.

FanForever Card #14: RINO GAETANO!
Rino Gaetano Forever! It does not seem at all 40 long years have passed since the death of the great singer-songwriter, his music is in our daily life, it resounds on radios, televisions, squares, in the hearts of all Italians. In addition to being often honored by contemporary artists, so much is the power and beauty of Rino’s songs. It is with great joy that we announce the Fan Forever Card # 14 dedicated to the Calabrian-born artist.
We could not have chosen a better occasion to present it than the MEI (https://meiweb.it/), the historic Meeting of Independent Labels, this year dedicated to Rino. The collaboration between MEI and Figurine Forever is enriched even more so, the availability of the Gaetano family has naturally made everything possible. The concert of the Rino Gaetano Band, scheduled for October 1 in Faenza, was the apotheosis to make the release of this new solidarity card even more special. The MEI will have the exclusivity of this issue, only then will the remaining copies be available on our website and at other events. One more reason to go to Faenza!
Continuing our editorial line of representing artists with the jersey of the team of the heart or of his own city, we have decided to present Rino with the jersey of Crotone in the early 50s (the singer was born on October 29, 1950), his city of origin. . We think it is a tribute that the Calabrian city will surely appreciate. The photo was provided to us directly by Mrs. Anna Gaetano, Rino’s sister, from her family archives; with a detail of the face we made the card.
RINO GAETANO FOR THE MEYER! The proceeds from the sale of the solidarity card will go to the Meyer Pediatric Hospital in Florence (https://www.meyer.it/). An important, unique, highly specialized company and a national reference point. A successful and established association between new technologies, therapy and research, always on the side of children with high levels of care.

FumettoForever Card #11: MARCELLA DI FOLCO!
Marcella Forever! We are happy, excited and proud to announce the Fumetto Forever Card # 11, dedicated to Marcella Di Folco, historical fighter of the LGBT + community, who passed away on 7 September 2010.
Our Association is based in Bologna, the city of Marcella’s adoption where she decided to move from Rome to continue her battles. In Bologna, Marcella was elected to the City Council in 1995, the first transsexual in the world to achieve this result.
Bologna was his city and his main cradle for many initiatives, here in 1988 he became President of MIT, Transsexual Identity Movement, with the creation of a consultancy followed directly by transgender people, also in this case the first in the world.
Our solidarity card wants to be a small means to thank her for what she has done for civil rights, far beyond the LGBT + world, Marcella has been (still is) a point of reference for those who work daily for a better world, for everyone. Marcella fully lived her way of being, first as an actor loved by great Italian directors (Fellini, Rossellini, Risi, etc.), then a strong and stubborn Woman, with many difficulties, but always with a smile. The choice of the solidarity card is deliberate, we remember Marcella like this.
As usual, the choice of the image is not accidental, we wanted to imagine Marcella as a footballer for the Italian national team in the “notti magiche” of the 1990 World Cup. An important year where she was elected in the Saragozza district of Bologna, the first important step that will lead her to the next electoral round. to enter the Municipality. Moreover, not everyone knows that Marcella was passionate about sports and a great fan, of As Roma but also of Bologna FC.
The designer of the card is Gianluca Sturmann, an established illustrator. Gianluca also created the graphics for the MIT 2021 card, which was never better chosen. Above all because Sturmann did not limit himself to making a portrait of Marcella, in addition to the pencil he put his heart into it, making the drawing an even more beautiful tribute with many references that bring back to Di Folco’s way of being, such as the fan, the hat and the inevitable “Favolosa” writing.
MARCELLA FOR DIVERGENTI!
The proceeds from this new solidarity card will go to support DIVERGENTI, the international trans film festival, unique in Italy, in collaboration with the Cineteca of Bologna.

Celebrative Sticker #14: GIORGIO FERRINI!
Ferrini Forever! We are happy to announce the Celebrative Sticker # 14, the second made in collaboration and in support of the Museum of the Grande Torino and the Leggenda Granata, an exciting tribute to the captain most captain of all the captains of Torino FC, Giorgio Ferrini. The great champion never forgotten by the Grenade people as by all the Azzurri fans and sports fans.
Celebrating it this year is also a tribute to the Italian national team, winning at Euro 2020, as happened in 1968, with Ferrini Champion of Europe. An unforgettable 1968, also seen the victory of Torino FC in the Italian Cup, record holder in the final round ahead of Milan, Inter and Bologna. The solidarity sticker is precisely the celebration of this Torino FC victory.
Not only that, we wanted to create a bridge of memories with Gigi Meroni, the garnet butterfly was the protagonist of our Celebrative Sticker # 7, which unfortunately passed away at the very beginning of that sporting season.
Giorgio Ferrini, 16 seasons with the Torino FC shirt, 566 appearances in the grenade shirt, an absolute record. Giorgio Ferrini Italian Champion 1975/76, in the season where he held the role of second of the coach Gigi Radice. That year Torino FC would return to win the Scudetto.
Giorgio Ferrini died on November 6, 1977 at just 37 years old. From up there he never stopped waving the grenade flag.
100 copies of the 160 printed will be donated to the Museum for sale directly at their place, in order to support the museum and cultural activities of a reality that the whole world envies us (https://www.museodeltoro.it/)

Celebrative Sticker #13: “BARON” SCHULL!
“Il Barone” Forever! Ask who Gary Baron Schull was. Each team, each fan, has its own idol, its own myth, the relationship of the American with Fortitudo Basket Bologna goes further. Compared to other champions, his stay lasted perhaps less, 5 years; compared to other American champions, he did not come from the NBA, he did not arrive in Bologna at the middle or end of his career, but at just 23 years old.
In Bologna Schull left his heart and soul, playing 5 seasons for a team that did not have the coat of arms of other clubs but for that very reason it was necessary to breathe fire and flames. So Schull made a famous bloody photo of him, carried in triumph after a derby won against Virtus.
Gary Schull was a great player, on the pitch he made a difference, so much so that he won the ranking of the best scorer in Italy but also that of the best rebounder. He had a huge heart, so much so that he gave up continuing his career in Fortitudo to return to the USA to assist his sick mother.
Fortitudo supporters will have noticed it, it is no coincidence, we waited to arrive at Celebrative # 13 to ideally deliver it to the Baron, it could only be his, like number 7, last year, it could only be dedicated to Gigi Meroni. That same shirt number 13 worn by Schull over the years Fortitudo and by the Bolognese club then withdrawn, now stands at the top of the Paladozza, just above the curve that bears his name and where the ultras of Fossa dei Leoni are crowded. Historical reality of organized support, born in the years of the Baron in Bologna, this too cannot be just a coincidence.
There are emblematic photos of Schull in Fortitudo, often linked to the early years when the sponsor was Eldorado ice cream, which is why we wanted to do something different. The solidarity sticker portrays him with the Alco shirt, season 72/73 (his last in Bologna), his stickers with the Eldorado shirt exist, there is no (at this point, there was no) an Alco sponsored.
In addition, the strong relationship with the fans could not fail to be celebrated in turn and so here he is the Baron, who returned to the city of Bologna, showing the scarf of Fossa dei Leoni at the curve. Most of the boys and girls of the curve were not yet born when Schull wore the colors of the F shield, but it does not matter, his myth has made him immortal, a legend that will never end. Too bad fate took him away too soon.
We would have liked to have sent this solidarity card to the Baron, we will send it to his son Garrett to whom we talked about this project several months ago and he replied happy, also about the social purposes and having involved the fans, who have never stopped loving, they will never be able to do it, dad Gary.

FanForever Card #13: NICO ROYALE!
Reggae forever! We are pleased to present the FanForever Card # 13! A solidarity card that is a series of firsts, at least for us. The first not linked to the world of football, the first consequently to basketball, the first of an artist reagge, the first that in addition to celebrating Nico Royale’s favorite team, Fortitudo Basket Bologna, does the same with his more warm, faithful and passionate, the Fossa dei Leoni 1970.
And also the first with the flag of Jamaica, but that’s another story 🙂
Nico Royale is a beautiful reality in the Italian music scene and a reference point for lovers of the reagge, not only as a singer and author, often the protagonist of songs with important themes and sometimes poorly digested by certain environments, but also as an event organizer, starting with the anti-racist Reno Splash festival held every summer in Marzabotto, a city that certainly needs no introduction.
The set of images of the card and postcard, as always, is not casual but studied. Nico wears the Fortitudo jersey from the early 90s, when a very young Nicola entered the Palasport Dozza for the first time. The photo is not retouched, we liked to hypothesize Nico as a champion who arrived from the suburban playgrounds, an image too beautiful to change. Nico and the Fossa dei Leoni, like many other artists, was the protagonist in a CD celebrating the 40th anniversary of the ultras Fortitudo, in 2010, with his “Red Throat for La Fossa“. So we decided to relaunch the partnership for the 50th anniversary of the group, a pity that happened in a period as we all know where sport has stopped, at least sport the beautiful and exciting one, with the public in the stands.
NICO ROYALE FOR MADAGASCAR! We thank Nico for the availability and sympathy to join our initiative. The proceeds will be entirely donated to the ADOTTA CON LA FIGURINA initiative to support long distance adoptions in Madagascar.

Celebrative Sticker #12: “TORO” RINALDI!
Happy birthday “Toro”! On the occasion of Alberto Rinaldi’s 75th anniversary, we are excited and happy to announce the Celebrative Sticker # 12, dedicated to one of the greatest Italian baseball players of all time. In this way, we are equally satisfied, even this splendid sport becomes part of our solidarity stickers.
Alberto Rinaldi spent a good part of his career with the Fortitudo shirt, with which as a player he won shields and the Champions Cup. Bologna is his city, here he lived and still lives, with that splendid parenthesis in the USA, in Cincinnati. Toro brought a little bit of the USA to Bologna among the first, but there are many reasons, given his wonderful career, to define him “beyond a reasonable doubt” (just to make Americans a bit …) a legend.

FanForever Card #12: SARA SQUADRANI!
Rimini Forever! Metal Forever! Sara Forever! Could we celebrate Riminicomix without creating a solidarity figurine that could also be a tribute to the Romagna city? Sara Squadrani is from Rimini, singer of the Ancient Bards (https://ancientbards.com/), the symphonic power metal band that has made the Riviera well known beyond the Italian borders, with tours throughout Europe and fans and concerts even in Japan and in the American continent.
Sara is one of the most beautiful voices in Italian music, beyond the genre, a Fan Forever Card deserves it. Our first singer, even here as for the Celebrative is not a deliberate choice to get there after 11 male releases. Let’s hope it’s just the forerunner for many other female voices we love on records and live.
The Ancient Bards were born in 2006, as always our solidarity card is not accidental, for their 15 years we will not stop only in Sara. A set of three solidarity cards + postcard will then be released where all the members of the band will be involved.
The solidarity card will be presented on the occasion of Riminicomix 2021 (https://www.riminicomix.it/) where some members of Ancient Bards will be with us on sunday 18th july

FanForever Card #11: GIORGIO VANNI!
Dragonball Forever! And a hundred other cartoon themes, all sung or written or both by Giorgio Vanni. He is the protagonist of Fan Forever Card # 11! The Milanese singer, born in 1963, is actually much more, for example the author of other great names in Italian music. On this occasion we decided to celebrate his best known activity, that of Japanese cartoon themes.
The solidarity card, like all those we make, is not accidental. The debut in the world of cartoons, in the company of his alter ego Max Longhi, took place in 1998. Destiny, the same year, led Japan to reach a final phase of the World Cup for the first time. Could we not take this into account?
The solidarity card will be presented on the occasion of Riminicomix 2021 (https://www.riminicomix.it/) where Giorgio Vanni will be a great protagonist on stage on the evenings of Friday 16 and Saturday 17 July 2021

FumettoForever Card #10: RIGOR MORTIS!
We are happy to announce the Comic Card # 10! Younger comics fans know Riccardo Crosa very well for his works on the famous character of Dragonero by Bonelli Editore. The fantasy settings, however, were born well before, in the 90s, with the legendary character of a generation RIGOR MORTIS.
The many commitments of the Syracusan designer led to no longer having time for the comics of the “Genius of Evil” (not to be confused with the other very Italian Cattivik, created by Bonvi), when we contacted him to involve him in our solidarity stickers ours request was precise: we want him! We want Rigor Mortis!
Rigor Mortis with UR94 Ultras Ravenna? It would certainly make a difference. The choice of Ravenna was born from the fact that it was the adopted city of Crosa, who therefore wanted to pay him homage. Rigor Mortis as a footballer would have been not very credible, better a fan, but someone like him certainly couldn’t stand in the stands, better in the hottest part of the Giallorossi cheer, in the corners!
RIGOR MORTIS FOR MADAGASCAR!
With the proceeds of this new card + postcard, will be supported the ADOTTA CON LA FIGURINA project

FanForever Card #10: ERRIQUEZ!
Erriquez forever! We are happy and excited to announce FanForever # 10 dedicated to the author and voice of Bandabardò. Card that wants to be a small tribute to a great protagonist of Italian music. Actually the idea is from a year ago, we have been talking about this idea with friends from Estragon Club for a long time.
Unfortunately we can no longer have the opportunity to personally deliver the card to Enrico, we are convinced that from up there he is looking at us with his engaging smile, the same one we tried to keep in the card.
Erriquez fan of Bologna FC??? Precisely in his last concert in Bologna, summer 2020, he talked about this peculiarity, he from Florence. Passion cultivated as a child and like all passions born as a child, logic does not always win, Enrico had fallen in love with the red and blue colors, certainly his way of being could not bring him closer to the big squadrons. In reality, Erriquez’s real passion was rugby, for this reason we are pleased to make an “exception to the rule” and we also put here the original photo from which we created the football one.
The photo was provided to us by Silvia, Erriquez’s wife, we will never stop thanking her for her humanity and her availability and for the emotions she wanted to share with us after seeing the image of the card. A very strong emotion for us too and we hope it will reach all the fans of Erriquez, Bandabardò, music and of course the stickers!
Erriquez’s card starts from Florence (his city), passes through Bologna (where his Bologna is located but also our Association), continues to Venice (where Edizioni Qubotondo is located, which deals with our productions), ending his journey in Naples. In Naples where the MAESTRI DI STRADA non-profit organization (https://www.maestridistrada.it/) is based, a splendid reality deeply rooted in the territory and to which, in agreement with the Greppi family, the proceeds are destined.
It could not be otherwise, a single city like Bandabardò is really tight, they are a national heritage, they have played in every corner of the beautiful country. We also like to imagine the Erriquez figurine traveling all over Italy.

FanForever Card #9: LO STATO SOCIALE!
“The Combat Pop Figurine!”. This time we want to exaggerate, the FanForever Card # 9 is three cards! After all, our heroes are five, could we not put them all?
Some time ago we had the opportunity to visit the guys from LO STATO SOCIALE during the warm up of the tour at the Estragon Club, we wanted to hit the mark and we showed up with the great figure of the Skiantos, their idols. Done! The five Bolognese were also destined to become figurine.
“Calciatori” of course from Bologna FC, instead of choosing the year of birth of the various members, we decided to celebrate the band and then 2009, when Lo Stato Sociale was formed.
LO STATO SOCIALE for PORTA PAZIENZA! The proceeds will be donated to Porta Pazienza (https://www.portapazienza.bo.it/), a splendid reality in Bologna, defining it as a pizzeria would be very limiting, the goal is to create a critical and conscious consumption model, bringing unique recipes with products from assets confiscated from the mafias and from social farming cooperatives.

FumettoForever Card #8: PERTURBAZIONE!
Stickers, music and comics! A mix of passions that goes well with our initiatives. We are happy to announce the new Comic Card, if # 7 featured a band that doesn’t actually exist (or maybe yes?), # 8 talks about a historical name of Italian music, the Turinese PERTURBAZIONE!
We got the idea from the same band, being the authors of the splendid graphic novel WHO REALLY KNOW (Bao Publishing 2021), the drawings instead of DAVIDE AURILIA whom we thank for his willingness to get involved in our initiative. Perturbazione could very well be one of our FanForever, instead they are in the collection of the cards on the comic, they fit perfectly, don’t you think?
The card partly incorporates the drawing of Aurilia that concludes the volume, the Perturbazione have accepted our proposal to “play along” and to present themselves with the colors of their favorite teams, so as to continue the sporting theme that distinguishes all our solidarity figurines. Vintage 70s shirts, without sponsors, of Torino, Inter and Foggia.
Official presentation on Sunday 27 June at the Turin Disco Fair, Piazza Madama Cristina, organized by Kolosseo. It will be a great opportunity to also meet the members of the band, buy the solidarity card, but also the volume and musical productions, merchandising, all over the world Perturbazione!

Celebrative Sticker #11: PAMELA NOUTCHO SAWA!
It took 11 Celebrative to get to the first woman, too many, but it wasn’t a choice. The choice, strong and convinced, however, was to celebrate Pamela, Italian boxing champion in the Elite 2020 category. The sportswoman, of Cameroonian origin, who in everyday life works as a nurse at the Maggiore Hospital in Bologna.
A beautiful story of sport, life and aggregation. Pamela is in fact an athlete of the ASD Bolognina Boxe Social Gym, a reality born in 2017, which soon became a reference point for the neighborhood and far beyond, strongly based on the belief that the right to sport must be accessible to all, without sex differentiation, religion, race and social background.
Just as Pamela helped the Gym to make itself known and appreciated, so much so that it was rewarded for the work done by the Municipality of Bologna, Figurine Forever also decided to contribute to the rebirth of this important reality, after the long months of closure due to sanitary emergency. The proceeds from the sale of this solidarity sticker will in fact be used to support the activities of Bolognina Boxe.
Not only that, in the sticker we want to emphasize a detail, the Italian flag, to remember the struggle of Pamela and many other women and men like her, who grew up in Italy, to obtain citizenship. In his case, also for proven sporting merits.
Pamela queen of FIGUCON! The new solidarity sticker will be on sale for a preview on 12 June at the great event organized by the Association, at Estragon Club, Bologna.

FumettoForever Card #7: SERGIO ALGOZZINO!
“In stickers we trust, in prog we trust!“. We are happy to announce the seventh solidarity card dedicated to the world of comics, thanks to Sergio Algozzino and his latest work “THE ONIRIC FACTORY OF SOUND”, a splendid graphic novel published by Feltrinelli Comics, set in the 70s, when next to the claims of the youth movements, a genre was born, the Italian progressive rock, admired and adored by thousands of fans also abroad.
Milano, the youth, the 70s, the terrorism, but above all the music. Easy to be overwhelmed by the images of the story that is invented, the band does not actually exist (or maybe it does?) But surely Algozzino’s passion for music is real and strong. After all Sergio has already been the protagonist of several comic books on the greats of music, from Fabrizio De Andrè to Ozzy Osbourne. Of course he is also known and appreciated for his works on the monthly Linus and on the characters of Nellie Bly and Dylan Dog.
The card is a tribute to the comic band, from which it takes its title, and being in Milano in the 70s, also to the two Milanese teams with the shirts of the time, the boys of the group with that of AC Milan and Tiziana, the singer, with that of FC Inter. “The Devils” and “the Beloved”, after all.
It is almost obvious to involve Sergio Algozzino in an evening where the stickers meet the music through comics. In fact, the Sicilian author will take the stage of the BologninAlive next June 8 to let us listen to the songs of The Oniric Factory of Sound (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhCVnxfIDkM), accompanied by the Bolognese singer Giulia Mei. So does the band exist or does it not exist? Who knows, to find out you will have to come to Bologna and have the book and our card signed. FREE ENTRY. It will also be the first official presentation of the volume, released in early 2021.

FumettoForever Card #6: SALATI & BARDUCCI!
“SOSPESO” is a splendid graphic novel released for Tunué editions in 2018, the main character is Martino, a teenager from Milan at the beginning of the 90s. We are very happy to highlight this little gem of Italian comics, a story that is a hit to the heart, perhaps necessary, perhaps for someone not understandable, but absolutely to read.
We therefore involved the two authors: GIORGIO SALATI (Milan), an author known above all for his Disney and Brina stories, a highly successful title also on an international level. This is another reason why the work on SOSPESO leaves people unmoved, the themes are completely different ARMIN BARDUCCI (Bozen), cartoonist and graphic designer with very interesting productions, often outside the box. In everyday life he teaches drawing to children and works as an educator
The card, like all the previous ones, maintains a sporting connotation. The choice is not accidental, Martino also in the book claims his passion for the Los Angeles Lakers. Armin could have created a design that echoed the classic NBA cards and so it was but in the setting of the suburbs of Milan, as is the comic strip, where Martino lives.
Giorgio Salati is not only a cartoonist but also a good songwriter (here his latest video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kn3Lz9tj_iM), for this reason the presentation of the card will be a special evening where the “figurine” meet the music, through comics.
Giorgio Salati at BologninAlive, Tuesday 8 June 2021, signs copies of the book and the sticker. FREE ENTRY.

FumettoForever Card #5bis: PATRICK ZAKI!
“We want the Scudetto! Our championship is the release of Patrick Zaki ”. We were pleasantly surprised by the great success of our Patrick Zaki solidarity card initiative with the Bologna 2020/21 shirt. The 150 copies sold out within a few days. We asked ourselves the question of what to do, our productions have a strong sense of collecting, a reprint was not viable.
So we thought of creating a new, different “figurina”, thanks to the confirmed availability of Gianluca Costantini. This time Patrick wears a legendary shirt for all the Bolognese, 1964/65 season with the Scudetto on the chest, thanks to the unforgettable match won last June at the Olympic Stadium in Rome against Inter.
The message is clear and strong, there is only one championship at the moment: Patrick Free Now.
For this new edition we have also planned a particular print, 150 numbered copies are planned, but it will be an “on demand” production. From today the pre-order starts, interested people can optionally as many copies as they wish, if the number of requests exceeds the expected 150, a higher number will be printed, 200, 300 or whatever will be necessary. Of course always numbered.

CEFFI (THUGS) FOREVER!
Bolognina Boxe is a splendid reality, it is much more than a gym, it is an example of how sport and socializing can coexist and become one; was born with the aim of building a popular neighborhood boxing project, accessible to all, which can be an alternative to life on the street and isolation, which promotes the elimination of gender stereotypes and racism, and which at the same time it constitutes a high-level sports center.
The gym is experiencing an extremely difficult period due to the health emergency, despite this it has athletes, such as Pamela Noutcho Sawa, who have been able to establish themselves nationally. The goals of the gym, its role, its commitment have led us to find a way to make our contribution, through the stickers, of course.
We wanted to involve the rock band Magenta#9, who responded enthusiastically to our proposal. It is not a causal choice, the winners of Sanremo Rock 2020 proudly bring their being part of the Bolognina, one of the districts of Bologna where the musicians live and where the gym was also born.
Putting together the Magenta#9 rockers, the girls and boys of the gym, those madmen of Figurine Forever, it could only be a sensational gathering of CEFFI, exactly as the guys of the group like to call themselves!
The set consists of three postcards + cards, in the first two we have the Magenta#9 stickers, in the third the card with the Bolognina Boxe logo and around the photos taken at the gym. The three cards are not available separately and are collected inside a personalized envelope with the same sequential number.

FumettoForever Card #5: PATRICK ZAKI!
FIGURINE FOREVER for PATRICK ZAKI and AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL!
The FumettoForever Card # 5 has an important meaning, we wanted to contribute to the appeal of hundreds of thousands of people who ask for the release of Patrick Zaki, the young activist in prison in Egypt since February 8, 2020. We have joined the campaign promoted by Amnesty International and for this reason the entire proceeds are destined to the Volunteer Organization.
The availability of Gianluca Costantini, one of the most popular cartoonist in the graphic journalism genre and who on many occasions has supported the campaigns for Patrick’s release with his time and his pencil, is fundamental. Why the Bologna shirt? We want to underline, once again, that Patrick is one of us, he is a citizen of the city of Bologna. Furthermore Patrick is a football fan, he plays well and went when he could to see the matches at the stadium, our hope is to be able to soon deliver him a copy of the card here in Bologna, in His city.
Presentation of the card on Wednesday 26 May at 18.00 at A SKEGGIA, the headquarters of the FOREVER ULTRAS of Bologna, which we thank for their availability, the curve of Bologna has also in the past shown sensitivity on this issue as can also be seen from this banner displayed before of a match

FanForever Card #8: AVINCOLA!
“Goal!”. The first purchase of José Mourinho’s Roma! After participating in the Sanremo 2021 Festival, here is the new adventure for Avincola. Of course we are joking, but not on the new FanForever Card which is dedicated to the Roman singer-songwriter, one of the most promising in the panorama of the capital.
Avincola’s musical career has already seen him affirm himself on various occasions, winner of numerous awards, among the many artists he has crossed in his path we like to remember the great Freak Antoni, singer of the Skiantos and protagonist together with Dandy Bestia of our FanForever Card # 6.
Avincola was born in June 1987, so we immortalized him as the footballer of the season that began in 1986 and the idol of the South Curve. Avincola photo by Matteo Casilli. The initiative was made possible thanks to the great availability of the artist and Leave Music (http://www.leavemusic.it/).
AVINCOLA FOR OFFICINE BUONE! The proceeds will be donated to the OdV Officine Buone (https://www.officinebuone.it/en/), a new way of volunteering, closely connected to the world of music, theater and culture, through activities in hospitals and places of fragility. Officine Buone is present in several cities and also in Rome where “our new figurina” Avincola was born and lives.

FanForever Card #7: BERTOLI!
“Eppure il vento soffia ancora!”. We are happy and proud to present our new Fan Forever Card, as the previous one of the Skiantos is a double card, it presents two generations of songwriters, Pierangelo Bertoli and his son Alberto.
The project was made possible thanks to the availability of Alberto and the Bertoli family, precisely the great sense of belonging to the territory made us decide to make a card with the colors of Sassuolo, the birthplace of both. While Alberto is a black&green fan, Pierangelo was actually known as a great Juventus fan. After all, in the 50s Sassuolo, then Sassolese, played in the minor categories and it is understandable that the young Pierangelo was attracted to the great champions of one of the Serie A teams.
We like to think, however, that from up there Pierangelo accompanies with his guitar both the black and white deeds and those of his hometown team, now in the football elite.
BERTOLI FOR PORTA APERTA! The proceeds will be donated to the PORTA OPERTA Volunteer Association (https://www.portaapertamodena.it/), a historic reality in Modena and the whole province, committed to the front line in solidarity and in the fight against social exclusion.

Celebrative Sticker #10: BRUNO NERI!
Who was Bruno Neri? Bruno Neri was an excellent footballer, a man of great values, a patriot. Before the outbreak of the Second World War, his sporting career starts from his hometown Faenza and continues to the big clubs, Fiorentina for 7 years, Torino for 3 years with an interlude to Lucchese that in 1936 / 37 played in Serie A. The period in Tuscany is also remembered for the three appearances in the national team.
Bruno Neri is famous for a photo from 1931, shown in our folder, on the occasion of the inauguration of the new stadium in Florence he is the only footballer not to give the Roman salute in front of the fascist hierarchs. Neri was not particularly involved in politics, perhaps he wasn’t even too interested, but his passion for art and poetry could have little to do with an authoritarian regime.
His proximity to anti-fascist circles led him to participate in the partisan struggle, as deputy commander of the Ravenna Brigade, his passion for football was also able to resist the pains and horrors of war, so much so that Neri took part in the Alta Italia championship of 1944 with the shirt of “his” Faenza.
Bruno Neri died on 10 July 1944, during a fire fight with the Nazis, near the Hermitage of Gamogna in the Apennines. We like to repeat that our solidarity stickers are not only intended to collect funds but also to remember, to raise awareness, to support historical memory as in this case.
At the same time we like to imagine, create alternative stories, for this reason we have created the sticker of Bruno Neri as a football player for the national team at the 1938 World Cup in France, won by the “Azzurri”. The blue shirt you see in the photo is really his and is kept at the Grande Torino Museum.
BRUNO NERI FOR THE “ADOTTA CON LA FIGURINA” PROJECT!
The entire proceeds from the sale of this Celebrative Sticker will be used to support the “Adotta con la Figurina – Sticker raising for Solidarity” project where our association annually engages in different solidarity projects, in Madagascar, Bosnia, Argentina and Italy.

Celebrative Sticker #9: GIGI MARULLA!
Gigi Marulla forever! There are players who have entered the collective imagination, champions who have not played in top clubs or in the national team but who nevertheless have remained in the hearts of many fans. One of these is certainly Gigi Marulla, Cosenza’s flag but also with important seasons with Genoa and Avellino.
We are happy and proud to release this Celebrative Sticker and to do it in collaboration with the city that loves it most, Cosenza, so much so that the San Vito stadium is dedicated to him. Gigi Marulla left us too soon but his memory is alive and strong in the heart of Cosenza fans and all lovers of football and good sports stories.
We wanted to pay homage to Number 9 with a sticker linked to Cosenza’s victory in the 1983 Anglo-Italian Tournament, the only international trophy on the club’s bulletin board. A sticker that doesn’t exist, like the ones we like to make!
The initiative was made possible thanks to the availability of Kevin Marulla and the family of the Calabrian champion. The role of the Cultural Association “Ritorno al Fumetto” was fundamental to allow the successful outcome of contacts with the Marulla family and the sports world of Cosenza. The proceeds will be donated to the ASSOCIATION LA TERRA DI PIERO – COSENZA (http://www.laterradipiero.it/), an important social reality born to remember Piero Romeo, a great fan and leader of the Rossoblu supporters, but also a man who had made solidarity a lifestyle.

Celebrative Sticker #8: ALBERTO DI CHIARA!
Alberto Di Chiara was a great player in italian football, his only misfortune was to play in a period where we had absolute champions in the same role, however, for all football fans it remains a name to remember and that has made thousands of players dream. fans, especially in his time at Parma, with whom he won a Uefa Cup and a Cup Winners’ Cup, a level never reached by the yellow&blue club.
For this reason we wanted to pay homage to Alberto with the national team shirt, with which he has 7 appearances, imagining that thanks to his rides on the wing Italy in 1992 could have reached the final phase of the 1992 European Championships in Sweden, maybe who knows by winning them instead of Denmark.
The Celebrative was created by directly involving the Roman champion who enthusiastically supported our initiative. Thanks to Giglio Amico Onlus of Florence for their fundamental help.

The entire proceeds from the sale of this Celebrative Sticker will be used to support the “Adotta con la Figurina – Sticker raising for Solidarity” project where our association annually engages in different solidarity projects, in Madagascar, Bosnia, Argentina and Italy.

FumettoForever Card #4: ALBERTO MADRIGAL!
The first non-Italian Comic Card! Even if the legendary Alberto Madrigal is a great friend of the “Belpaese”, often present at our comic fairs and many collaborations with Zerocalcare and other local publishers and authors.
Anyone who reads Alberto’s comic stories knows that he has long since moved to Germany, so we liked to imagine an alternative life of the character Javi as a footballer: thanks to his performances with the Berlin club (Hertha or Union? you choose) he earns the call-up in the Spanish national team!
Thanks again to Alberto for taking part in our solidarity stickers project.
JAVI FOR MADAGASCAR!

FIORENTINA FOREVER!
25 years of Giglio Amico Onlus. In 1996 this beautiful solidarity reality of Florence was born, linked to the Viola colors but also to many other aspects of the city and to feel a living part of Florentine culture. We therefore decided to celebrate this anniversary with a special set of 5 stickers + postcards. A perfect cross between our Celebrative and our Fan Forever.
The first postcard + sticker is a due tribute to the many friends of Giglio Amico, to those who helped the Onlus in the great work carried out, through some of the most significant events, remembering them all was really impossible.
The other Giglio Celebrative Stickers are four great players in the history of Fiorentina, they are not chosen by chance, they are people close to Giglio Amico Onlus who with their time and their presence have made it possible to achieve the important goals in these 25 years. The four former players were naturally involved in the initiative.
The 5 Giglio Celebrative Stickers are not available separately and are collected inside a personalized envelope with the same sequential number.

Celebrative Sticker #6: ENEAS!
40 years after his arrival in Italy (Bologna, 1980/81 season) we are excited and happy to celebrate Eneas De Camargo, a high-quality exponent of Brazilian football, not too lucky in his experience in Serie A but still remembered with great affection today. from the Bolognese public.
We therefore wanted to work with dreams, thinking about calling up the Brazilian national team for Espana82 thanks to a great championship in Bologna. In reality, Eneas played in the Selecao and had the opportunity to be called up for the 1974 and 1978 world championships.
Unfortunately, Eneas left us at the age of 34 due to a car accident. The Celebrative was created involving the family, in particular the son Rodrigo who enthusiastically supported our little gift.

FanForever Card #6: SKIANTOS!
The Skiantos are much more than a band, according to a lot the MONOtono album released in 1978 is a milestone of Italian rock that ranges between various genres and over 40 years later it has lost none of its potential.
It is our first card dedicated to a band, we have decided to pay homage to the two main symbols of Skiantos, the late and brilliant Freak Antoni and the great Dandy Bestia, still at the head of the group.
It is the first double! Naturally with the Bologna shirt, the favorite team of both, period 1977, year of birth of the band. Several years later the Skiantos also created a team anthem, perhaps the most loved among the supporters (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8w-kC5fo_4Q&list=RDMM8w-kC5fo_4Q&index=1)

ONLY FORever FANS 2021: OLGA PANINI!
In 2021 the ONLY FORever FANS card + card, distributed exclusively to our members, is a tribute to “grandmother” Olga, the mother of the 8 Panini brothers and sisters, the architect of what would later happen, opening the newsstand in the center of Modena, from which later the Panini Empire would have arrived.
The initiative was realized thanks to the availability of the Panini family, the original one, who enthusiastically joined our idea of celebrating Nonna Olga.
The card + postcard, unlike the other solidarity stickers, does not have a progressive numbering, however 150 copies were printed, of which 60 were donated to the Panini family.
Some copies are still available for any new members who would like to have a copy.
FumettoForever Card #3: NATHAN NEVER!
Fans of science fiction know that there are several parallel worlds, on Earth 2 the history of football has some differences. Season 1970/71, fresh Cagliari champion of Italy tries to climb to Europe. An important reinforcement from Gardalas arrives, Nathan Never, to form a STELLAR attacking couple with Gigi Riva. After a first period low profile, Never left its mark on 21 October 1970, first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions Cup: with its hat-trick Cagliari beat Atletico Madrid 5-1, for which a 3-0 victory will not be enough in the return match. Subsequently to fall under the blows of Never will be Legia Warsaw, Ajax and Panathinaikos.
Cagliari are European champions!
We like to imagine Nathan Never as a Cagliari player, which is why the kit he wears is the championship of the 1970/71 season.
The initiative was made possible thanks to the availability and collaboration of BEPI VIGNA (co-creator of Nathan Never) and the cartoonist Andrea Buongiorno aka BUONG.
Vigna and Buong have created together the comic book on the history of Cagliari, it seemed right and a pleasure to propose this successful couple!
NATHAN NEVER FOR MADAGASCAR! The entire proceeds from this new card + postcard will be donated to the ADOTTA CON LA FIGURINA – STICKER RAISING FOR MADAGASCAR project, in favor of the Mondobimbi Village in Tulear, Madagascar

FumettoForever Card #2: LEO ORTOLANI!
When we contacted Leo to make a card, the problem for him of not being a fan of football or other sports was easily overcome. The genius of the author of RATMAN immediately fell on L’ARBITRO (the referee), an absolute protagonist of football as much as the players. Not?
What Leo did not calculate is that in this way, we hope, we will have the excuse to involve him again next year, where there is the referee there must also be a linesman. Don’t you find?
Cinema fans cannot fail to remember a famous film with Lando Buzzanca, called The Referee, a jewel of Italian comedy to be rediscovered, if you do not know it yet.
We want to thank Leo Ortolani for joining our initiative with an unpublished drawing that will surely be appreciated by the many comics fans of the famous Emilian author.

FanForever Card #5: SIMONE TOMASSINI!
Long live the Italian rock! With great pleasure we announce the 5th FanForever card: Simone Tomassini aka Simone. The Lombard artist has been our point of reference for many years in the Italian music scene, the author of many songs that have remained in the hearts of many fans and in recent days with the new song “C’hanno provato”.
According to Simone himself, the sticker refers to the “great Como” of the late 1980s, protagonist in Serie A and the singer’s birthplace, a team well remembered by many football fans. It is also a small tribute to remember Stefano Borgonovo.
The FanForever Card will be available from 20 October on the occasion of Simone’s double concert in Milan at the Memo Live Club.
In absolute preview at MEI (Independent Label Meeting), Faenza, on 3 and 4 October 2020, where our Association will have its own space, thanks to the invitation received by the organization.
SIMONE FOR S’APRE ONLUS: the entire proceeds will be donated to the S’Apre non-profit organization in Cassano d’Adda (MI) to support their activities in Italy and around the world.

FanForever Card #4: STEVE LEE!
It is with great emotion that we announce the 4th FanForever Card: Steve Lee, lead singer of Gotthard, 10 years after his death due to an accident while he was touring the USA on a motorcycle. Steve had a big heart and even if you don’t notice it in this photo, his smile and his will to live was contagious. As was his incredible voice, one of the greatest in the contemporary rock scene.
The initiative was made available thanks to collaboration of the family and Flavio Hochstrasser, a close friend and legal representative of Steve’s rights worldwide. Thanks also to Barbara Caserta, photographer and journalist, fundamental in the preparation of this small project.
Steve was passionate about football, we thought of making the sticker with the Swiss national team shirt because Gotthard is perhaps the band that most of all brought Switzerland to the world, Steve embodied this great country at best, he spoke English, Italian, French it’s German. The Gotthard band was founded in 1992, which is why we decided to take inspiration from the USA94 World Cup stickers.
The FanForever Card will be available from 5 October (10th anniversary of his death) and presented in world premiere at MEI (Meeting Etichette Indipendenti), Faenza, on 3 and 4 October 2020, where our Association will have its own space, thanks the invitation received by the organization.
Faenza and Romagna is not a random choice, the last Italian tour of the Gotthard with Steve Lee on vocals made a stop at the Vidia Club in Cesena. 11 years after that date (24 October 2009) is another way to remember an incredible concert, as Gotthard was and still is.
STEVE LEE FOR MADAGASCAR: the entire proceeds will be donated to the Mondobimbi Village in Tulear (Madagascar), where our Association is involved in the international campaign ADOTTA CON LA FIGURINA – STICKER RAISING FOR MADAGASCAR; thanks to Steve’s family for responding enthusiastically to this aspect as well

This time we intend to involve names from the world of comics by inviting them to create a new design connected to the world of sport, because we have taken pleasure in giving new shapes to the football stickers (but not only), the bestseller of this collectible world.
The first release is made thanks to the availability of the great SILVIA ZICHE (http://www.silviaziche.com/), many know her as an established Disney signature, but it is equally famous for the characters created by her, first of all Lucrezia, to whom she has dedicated several books and with the strip for over 10 years on the magazine Donna Moderna.
Lucrezia player of the legendary L.R. Vicenza! Silvia confided to us that she was not a fan but was born in Thiene, she remembers well the glorious past of the red and white team when a certain Paolo “Pablito” Rossi played there.

CELEBRATIVE STICKER #7: GIGI MERONI!
We have been thinking about Gigi Meroni for a long time but we wanted to wait to get to number 7, like his kit. We as Figurine Forever, more than football fans, are fans of football stories and a “book or film” would not be enough for “the butterfly grenade”. Torino, but also Genoa, Como and the Italian national team. Too bad that fate took him away too soon, at just 24 years old, making him a legend.
The Celebrative Sticker is made in collaboration with the Museum of Grande Torino and the Granata Legend (http://www.museodeltoro.it/), which we thank for their enthralling passion. We believe and support their great cultural work, the history of our country is also reflected in the pages of Torino. For this reason we have decided to donate 150 copies of this Celebrative Sticker to the Museum, which they will be able to freely sell to visitors and fans and with the proceeds to support their activities and the life of this important museum reality.

Cards where great characters will be depicted in stickers with the colors of their favorite team! The first is now a friend of Figurine Forever: Stefano “Cisco” Bellotti. The singer naturally in the role of Bologna player, given the historical great passion for the red and blue colors. Not only that, being the headquarters of our Association in the city of Bologna, it seemed to us the most welcome departure, as it had already been for the Celebrative Stickers.
The FanForever Cards will be printed in a limited number of 300 copies, to have your own copy a contribution of 5.00 euros is required.
Once the expenses have been deducted, the sum will be donated to our campaign STICKER RAISING FOR MADAGASCAR.
Figurine Forever Association is proud to announce the collaboration with the non-profit organization CANCER DRUGS & ROCK N ROLL ( http://www.cancerdrugsandrockandroll.org/ ) in order to create a limited edition collection of cards of rock heroes, from the immense archive of the photographer ALEX RUFFINI, who passed away last year.
We are working in this period to define the details and also choose the photos, we can anticipate that the creation of about 200 cards in four outputs is planned, the first with a binder (image not definitive, but the protagonist on the cover will be Paul Stanley of KISS).
EXPECTED RELEASE: summer 2023 (to be confirmed)
The funds raised will be entirely destined to the CDRnR Association and in turn donated to associations that deal with research and assistance to cancer patients.
In Stickers We Trust, In Rock We Trust!
