Picture card history of sport’s legends, champions and flops
from Tuesday 19th December 2017 to 14th January 2018
Exhibitions
From 19th December (until 14th January) the Galli theatre hall hosts the exhibition “I migliori Album della nostra vita, Storie in figurina di miti campioni e bidoni dello sport” (The best albums of our lives, picture card history of sport’s legends, champions and flops). The exhibition, organised by the Museo della Figurina, born from the Panini borthers’ passion for collection, has twenty sections. Each one elaborates a feature of sport, ranging from Olympic Games and football World Cup champions to challenges between great rivals, through yesterday and today legends and USA stars. However, a few athletes became famous for their defeats, rather than their talent. They are the so-called ‘bidoni’ (flops). Others owe their fame not to shiny careers, but to being featured in rare picture cards; others are remembered for their appearance in films, whether successful or not. Finally, even delicate topics, such as racism and discrimination in sport, are described in a brand-new perspective.
