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 #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/).

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.

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.
