Forever Card #27: ANDREA MINGARDI!

Benessum forever! Another great artist and equally great Bologna FC fan becomes a solidarity card, the Forever Card #27 is Andrea Mingardi!

Born in 1940, the Bolognese singer-songwriter in his long and successful career has been able to reach the hearts of enthusiasts and fans in many ways, surely Andrea cannot be considered a static artist; singer but also an excellent author, actor, spokesman for dialectal music, footballer, painter, writer, jazz, blues, rock and much more. Always with an eye to Bologna.

Among the many professional and life experiences of Mingardi, although it is difficult to make a ranking of the highlights, limiting oneself, with difficulty, to the musical career alone, the songs in the Bolognese dialect from the second half of the 70s must be remembered, still much loved by the public of his city, his personal reinterpretation of immortal songs such as “Caruso” and “O ‘sole mio”, the participation in the San Remo Festival, in particular the 1992 edition with the marvellous song “Con un amico vicino”, in pairs with Alessandro Bono, who sadly passed away prematurely.

Another important aspect of Andrea Mingardi’s life is his passion for sport and football, in particular for Bologna, to which he has dedicated songs from his repertoire, “Cuore rossoblù” and “Le tue ali Bologna” of which he is also the author. sung together with other great Bolognese singers such as Lucio Dalla, Luca Carboni and Gianni Morandi. At the Renato Dall’Ara stadium there is fixed music before each match.

Sport also to show solidarity, Mingardi was one of the founders of the Italian National Singers. For this reason, by moving the card to the center of the postcard, a photo of him on the pitch was inserted with the colors of the Italian music team.

Close to the 60th anniversary of Bologna’s last (for now) scudetto, that of the historic “spareggio” in Rome against Herrera’s Inter in the 1963/64 season, the solidarity sticker unites Andrea’s love for football and this indelible memory for a boy from Bologna in the 60s, so much so that he referred to the team “which is played like this only in Paradise” even in his last literary work. The circulation of the first edition, 109 copies, is a deliberate reference to the year of foundation of the club (1909).

ANDREA MINGARDI for EMILIA ROMAGNA!
With this solidarity card it will be possible to support the “Adotta con la Figurina” project where Figurine Forever engages annually in different solidarity projects. The proceeds raised until October 2023 will be entirely allocated to fundraising for the flooded areas in Emilia Romagna, in particular the musical realities, thanks to the collaboration with the MEI Meeting Etichette Indipendenti of Faenza.

Forever Card #16: LUCA CARBONI!

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.

With this solidarity card it will be possible to support the “Adotta con la Figurina” project where Figurine Forever engages annually in different solidarity projects, in particular to the CiviBo Onlus (http://www.civibo.it/), an important reality in the field of volunteering

Forever 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!

With this solidarity card it will be possible to support the “Adotta con la Figurina” project where Figurine Forever engages annually in different solidarity projects, in particular 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.

Forever 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)

Forever Card #1: “CISCO”!

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.

With this solidarity card it will be possible to support the “Adotta con la Figurina” project where Figurine Forever engages annually in different solidarity projects.

It is also possible to receive your autographed copy with a dedication from the artist, visit the official Cisco website https://www.ciscovox.it/prodotto/figurina-celebrativa-di-cisco-a-scopo-benefico-a-sostegno-dei-progetti-in-madagascar/
