We remind you that the solidarity stickers of Olga Kharlan and Gigi Samele are still available
Thanks!
Fencing forever! Italy is not only one of the homelands of football, fencing is a sport we have had incredible results over the years, creating a real movement of fans and many practitioners.
We are happy to finally be able to pay homage to this splendid discipline and do so with an adopted Bolognese, silver medalist at the Tokyo 2021 Olympics, five-time European champion. The solidarity Celebrative Sticker # 22 is, like the previous one by Olga Kharlan, dedicated to fencing and Luigi Samele!
In this difficult time for Peace, Luigi and Olga are a beautiful couple in life who can help get the right messages through sport. Winning and fighting on the platform, loyally and as athletes. Not in any other way.

The choice to print 173 copies is not accidental, that final “73” is a small reference and homage to 1873, the year of foundation of Virtus Scherma Bologna, a sports club to which Luigi belongs and where, in this period, is also training Olga Kharlan
The solidarity stickers of Olga Kharlan and Luigi Samele are linked to the “Make Comics Not War” campaign, a charity auction of original comic strips that will be organized in collaboration with the Catawiki website in May 2022.
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.
