“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.

FanForever 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.

FanForever 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.
LO STATO SOCIALE for PORTA PAZIENZA! The proceeds will be donated to Porta Pazienza (https://www.portapazienza.bo.it/), a splendid reality in Bologna, defining it as a pizzeria would be very limiting, the goal is to create a critical and conscious consumption model, bringing unique recipes with products from assets confiscated from the mafias and from social farming cooperatives.

FanForever 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)

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.
The FanForever Cards will be printed in a limited number of 300 copies, to have your own copy a contribution of 5.00 euros is required.
Once the expenses have been deducted, the sum will be donated to our campaign STICKER RAISING FOR MADAGASCAR.
