Rosaria Carpinelli Consulenze Editoriali

The darkness of 2002 and 2003 (the Scudetto thrown away on May 5th and the semi-final of the Champions League lost after two drawn derbies). The dawn of 2007 (the first Scudetto on the pitch after the Calciopoli storm). The magic Triple 2010 (high noon!). The late sunny afternoon of 2021 (Conte's Scudetto), after a long eclipse. Finally, the (two) stars of the magnificent 2024. Beppe Severgnini recounts the Neroazzurra adventure in a book full of joy, irony and self-mockery, enriched by an impressive photo gallery that exalts the beauty of football through unforgettable, surprising or bizarre images. This volume is not just a compilation of the Nerazzurri's successes. Celebrations are nice, but the love for a team feeds on many other things. Memories, reconstructions, characters, surprises, illusions, even disappointments. Football is our true popular novel. Those who do not love the sport find it difficult to understand. They do not realize that passion for a team is passion for life. Long, consistent, instructive: soccer cheering, if it does not become obsessive or aggressive, teaches how to win and how to lose. Even to draw, which is saying something. And #amala, of course.
