Autographed Photo Marco Di Vaio – Lazio Shirt 90s – Umbro Banca di Roma – COA Included

The autographed photograph of Marco Di Vaio in a Lazio shirt: a rare document from the youth of a great Italian striker

A color photograph depicting Marco Di Vaio in an official shot of great documentary value: very young, posing on the field with the ball at his feet, wearing the sky-blue Lazio shirt with Banca di Roma sponsor and Umbro logo, dating back to the early nineties when the future striker was taking his very first steps in professional football. The background with the stadium stands and the freshness of the just-teenage player make this photograph a precious and rare document of a career that would have led Di Vaio to the highest levels of Italian and European football. The 15x10 cm dimensions make it a compact and very charming vintage piece. Marco Di Vaio's original autograph is affixed with a black marker directly in the center of the image, large, clear and perfectly legible, with a stroke that gracefully covers almost the entire photograph. Excellent condition, impeccable preservation.

The Champion: Marco Di Vaio

Marco Di Vaio (Rome, July 15, 1976) is a former Italian footballer, a fast striker with a great nose for goal, considered one of the most consistent and reliable strikers in Italian football in the 2000s. After his first experiences with Lazio and Salernitana, he played for Parma, Juventus, Valencia, and Monaco before finding his ideal dimension at Bologna, where he became a true club legend and scored over 140 goals in Serie A during his career. He made 14 appearances for the Italian national team, participating in Euro 2004. After retirement, he joined the management of Bologna as sporting director, contributing to the club's growth. This photograph in a Lazio shirt is a precious and extremely rare testament to his football youth.

What is an original autographed photograph?

An original autographed photograph is a unique historical document where the protagonist's signature has been affixed directly to the print with certified presence, without intermediaries. It differs from printed reproductions or facsimiles by precise and verifiable elements: the natural and irregular pressure of the stroke, the three-dimensionality of the ink on the photographic surface, the spontaneity of the graphic gesture. Vintage photographs depicting champions in their youth have an amplified collectible value due to their intrinsic rarity: they document an unrepeatable moment in an athlete's career before definitive consecration. Added to these elements are the free MTM Letter of Authenticity (LOA) and the COA included in the price, for internationally recognized protection.
