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 #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.

The copy number 9 was not put up for sale but donated to the Marulla family.
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 proceeds will be entirely donated to the ADOTTA CON LA FIGURINA initiative to support long distance adoptions in Madagascar.
