“If I relax, I collapse“, 30 unlikely years for the Tuscan band, as they defined them themselves. The wildest, most passionate, bombastic and colorful Italian folk group in activity, the Forever Card #28 is Bandabardò!
Bandabardò was born on March 8, 1993, immediately dedicating itself to an intense live activity, in Italy and in Europe. Detail of the band that will never abandon them, now almost 2000 dates. Their albums have become one after another classics of Italian folk, combat folk and rock. Studio, live and social activities, a fundamental aspect in the life of the band.
Memorable 2018 with the concert event in Florence together with friends from the world of music such as Piero Pelù, Max Gazzè, Carmen Consoli, Modena City Ramblers, Cisco and Tonino Carotone. In 2021 the band has to stop due to the disappearance of the singer and founder Enrico “Erriquez” Greppi due to an incurable disease. A year later the band communicated its intention to continue its activity, announcing a collaboration with their friend Cisco Bellotti.
Currently the band is engaged in a book presentation tour that tells these long 30 years and at work so that there may be as many. The central image printed on the postcard, visible by moving the sticker, takes up the cover of the volume. The edition of the first edition of the solidarity sticker, in 130 copies, is naturally a tribute to the thirtieth anniversary of the band.

Forever Card #27: ANDREA MINGARDI!
Benessum forever! Another great artist and equally great Bologna FC fan becomes a solidarity card, the Forever Card #27 is Andrea Mingardi!
Born in 1940, the Bolognese singer-songwriter in his long and successful career has been able to reach the hearts of enthusiasts and fans in many ways, surely Andrea cannot be considered a static artist; singer but also an excellent author, actor, spokesman for dialectal music, footballer, painter, writer, jazz, blues, rock and much more. Always with an eye to Bologna.
Among the many professional and life experiences of Mingardi, although it is difficult to make a ranking of the highlights, limiting oneself, with difficulty, to the musical career alone, the songs in the Bolognese dialect from the second half of the 70s must be remembered, still much loved by the public of his city, his personal reinterpretation of immortal songs such as “Caruso” and “O ‘sole mio”, the participation in the San Remo Festival, in particular the 1992 edition with the marvellous song “Con un amico vicino”, in pairs with Alessandro Bono, who sadly passed away prematurely.
Another important aspect of Andrea Mingardi’s life is his passion for sport and football, in particular for Bologna, to which he has dedicated songs from his repertoire, “Cuore rossoblù” and “Le tue ali Bologna” of which he is also the author. sung together with other great Bolognese singers such as Lucio Dalla, Luca Carboni and Gianni Morandi. At the Renato Dall’Ara stadium there is fixed music before each match.
Sport also to show solidarity, Mingardi was one of the founders of the Italian National Singers. For this reason, by moving the card to the center of the postcard, a photo of him on the pitch was inserted with the colors of the Italian music team.
Close to the 60th anniversary of Bologna’s last (for now) scudetto, that of the historic “spareggio” in Rome against Herrera’s Inter in the 1963/64 season, the solidarity sticker unites Andrea’s love for football and this indelible memory for a boy from Bologna in the 60s, so much so that he referred to the team “which is played like this only in Paradise” even in his last literary work. The circulation of the first edition, 109 copies, is a deliberate reference to the year of foundation of the club (1909).

Forever Card #26: GLI STATUTO!
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 numbered copies, a non-causal number of course.

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 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.

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.
FOR GIGLIO AMICO ONLUS!
With this solidarity card it will be possible to support the “Adotta con la Figurina” project where Figurine Forever engages annually in different solidarity projects and 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.

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!
With this solidarity card it will be possible to support the “Adotta con la Figurina” project where Figurine Forever engages annually in different solidarity projects. 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.

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 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! With this solidarity card it will be possible to support the “Adotta con la Figurina” project where Figurine Forever engages annually in different solidarity projects, in particular 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.

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.
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.

Forever 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!
With this solidarity card it will be possible to support the “Adotta con la Figurina” project where Figurine Forever engages annually in different solidarity projects and to raise funds to support Anffas Teramo (http://www.anffasteramo.it/), according with Graziani Family.

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!
With this solidarity card it will be possible to support the “Adotta con la Figurina” project where Figurine Forever engages annually in different solidarity projects and to raise funds to support the Museo del Toro, to continue the collaborative relationship between this important social and cultural museum and our association.

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.
FRANCESCO DI GIACOMO FOR AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL!
With this solidarity card it will be possible to support the “Adotta con la Figurina” project where Figurine Forever engages annually in different solidarity projects and the activities of Amnesty International.

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. With this solidarity card it will be possible to support the “Adotta con la Figurina” project where Figurine Forever engages annually in different solidarity projects.

Forever 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.

Forever 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.
NOVELLO FOR GIGLIO AMICO ONLUS!
With this solidarity card it will be possible to support the “Adotta con la Figurina” project where Figurine Forever engages annually in different solidarity projects and 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. Novello Novelli was an honorary member of the non-profit organization.

Forever 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! With this solidarity card it will be possible to support the “Adotta con la Figurina” project where Figurine Forever engages annually in different solidarity projects and to raise funds for 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. A structure that, in addition to care and science, grants the right and proper space to humanity and the hospitality of young patients and their families.

Forever 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. With this solidarity card it will be possible to support the “Adotta con la Figurina” project where Figurine Forever engages annually in different solidarity projects.

Forever 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

Forever 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

Forever 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.
The second edition is available, revised and renewed, in practice almost a new sticker, connected to the 30th anniversary of Bandabardò. For this reason the numbering continues with 130 new solidarity cards, that thirty at the end.. it’s no coincidence!
With this solidarity card it will be possible to support the “Adotta con la Figurina” project where Figurine Forever engages annually in different solidarity projects. Until October 2023, the proceeds from the second edition of the sticker will be donated to the musical realities affected by the flood in Emilia Romagna, in collaboration with the MEI – Meeting Etichette Indipendenti of Faenza. Subsequently and any other editions will be linked to the Adotta Con La Figurina project.

Forever 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.

Forever 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! With this solidarity card it will be possible to support the “Adotta con la Figurina” project where Figurine Forever engages annually in different solidarity projects and raise funds 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.

Forever 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! With this solidarity card it will be possible to support the “Adotta con la Figurina” project where Figurine Forever engages annually in different solidarity projects, in particular 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.

Forever 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)

Forever 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.

Forever 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
With this solidarity card it will be possible to support the “Adotta con la Figurina” project where Figurine Forever engages annually in different solidarity projects; thanks to Steve’s family for responding enthusiastically to this aspect as well

Forever Card #2: OMAR PEDRINI!
We are happy and proud to announce the new FanForever Card, which will be released shortly after the first one created for Stefano “Cisco” Bellotti, and we also hope this will be appreciated by our members, by fans of stickers, by fans of the founder of TIMORIA.
Omar Pedrini naturally as Brescia’s player, given the historical great passion for the blue-white colors of his city. Not only that, the choice of the year is linked to the date of birth of the “rock uncle” and therefore while Omar was born, his favorite team played in Serie A.

IN STICKERS WE TRUST
Forever Card #1: “CISCO”!
We are happy and proud to add a new initiative, which we hope will be appreciated by our members, fans of stickers, fans of singers and artists that we will involve.
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.
