Advertisements for Myself, I agree. And in truth, even for two friends, even before colleagues, with whom I have worked with enthusiasm to the nth publication Minerva Press. Oh, this is the fourth now, and adding the book on Steve "Pre" Prefontaine, published by AIS, are at a height of five. I have to help me calm down.
The two friends, then: are Giuliano Musi, next to whom I have worked for years in the drafting of Corriere dello Sport-Stadio, between 85 and '98, first as editorial secretary and then as a free-lance waiting to Article 1 (come on, thanks to Europress Marco Montanari and Charles Church, another story ...), and Michael Lazzari , I work side by side today in the drafting of The Information of Bologna.
together, and driven by the enthusiasm of Robert Mugavero , our publisher, we thought of a book on a century of life of Bologna. We have thought many, it is true, and in the centenary year came out extensive works, from the trilogy Charles Church and Lamberto Bertozzi team (Minerva), with a lot of encyclopedia rossoblù.
We had a different idea. The result was "100 stories for 100 years" . Agile book, almost pocket, which tells many stories as there are years of the Bologna FC 1909. Percent, course. There are anecdotes, often forgotten episodes, trivia, behind the scenes. " Starting from the beginning, from "madmen who ran after the ball" Prati di Caprara. A century that has passed through two world wars, and then inside there are tragedies, like the end of Arpad Weisz, deported to Auschwitz and then criminally forgotten, or Dino Fiorini, who had married a belief opposite He paid for his convictions. Or like that of Antaeus Zamboni, that an attempt on the life of Mussolini in the great day of the Littoriale.
But there is also smiling, reading this book. Speaking of men, passions, talents that are often from another kick, even one with its shadows, but somehow more human scale. We did not choose to voice samples, better: not only to them. There are, of course, but the catwalk also players who had less fiortuna, honest or supporting actors. We are the foundations of Bologna, and often the meteors. There is Presidentissimo, Renato Dall'Ara with a suitcase full of anecdotes, because he (not too unconsciously) know the anecdotes to create them.
There is our passion. We have our myths, which sometimes have not done the way we imagined for them. Somehow, there is also our children. My, that Giuliano and Michael. That probably is not over yet.
Side note: the Bologna and Minerva have made official the official rossoblù necklace, a way to keep alive the memory of a society that has spanned a century. "100 stories for 100 years" is the first number in the series. Which, of course, fills us with pride.
