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.

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
ANCIENT BARDS FOR MADAGASCAR!
With the proceeds of this new card + postcard, through the ADOTTA CON LA FIGURINA project, it will be possible to support the distance adoptions in favor of the Mondobimbi Village in Tulear, Madagascar

Ancient Bards meet & greet at Figurine Forever stand, Riminicomix 2021
Several videos of the Ancient Bards have hundreds of thousands of views, we have chosen to offer you the one that sees Sara as the absolute protagonist, her and the Rimini seafront
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.
