Description

Match prepared shirt for Ciro Immobile for the match between Italy and North Macedonia, a match that went down in the history of Italian football. Despite clear domination throughout the match, the Squadra Azzurra lost 1-0 to a goal scored in extra time, thus seeing their hopes of qualifying for the 2022 FIFA World Cup vanish.

This model is also associated with one of the greatest successes in the recent history of the Italian national team. It belongs to the generation of shirts worn during Italy's victory at UEFA Euro 2020. Led by players such as Gianluigi Donnarumma, Leonardo Bonucci, Jorginho and Ciro Immobile, the Squadra Azzurra had an exceptional run before winning the final at Wembley against England on penalties.

This piece thus embodies two completely opposite moments in the recent history of Italian football: the euphoria of a European championship title and the disillusionment of a historic elimination at the gates of the World Cup.
