Giuseppe Bergomi's handwritten dedication is clearly and perfectly legibly inscribed with a green marker directly on the back, next to the commemorative number. It is preserved in Excellent condition, with vivid colors and intact fabrics. A relic of extraordinary historical value, destined for a high-level collection.

The Captain: Giuseppe Bergomi

Giuseppe Bergomi (Settimo Milanese, December 22, 1963) is an absolute legend of Italian football and Inter's history. Nicknamed "Lo Zio" (The Uncle) for the maturity he displayed from a very young age, he spent his entire professional career in black and blue, becoming a living symbol of the club. He debuted in Serie A at just 16 years old in 1979 and never left Inter until his retirement in 1999, making over 750 official appearances for the Nerazzurri. With the Italian national team, he won the 1982 World Cup in Spain, becoming a world champion at 18 — one of the youngest in history. With Inter, he won two league titles, three Coppa Italia trophies, the UEFA Cup, and the Italian Supercup. His 500th appearance for the Nerazzurri, celebrated on October 18, 1998, against Parma, is one of the most significant dates in the club's history.

What is an Original Autographed Jersey?

An original autographed jersey is a unique piece where the footballer's signature was directly applied to the fabric in a certified presence, without intermediaries. It differs significantly from printed reproductions or facsimiles due to several verifiable elements: the irregular and natural pressure of the stroke, the three-dimensionality of the ink on the fabric, and the spontaneity of the graphic gesture. In the case of this item, Bergomi's autograph is accompanied by a personal dedication, which further amplifies its collectible and emotional value, making it an absolutely unique piece. In addition to these visual elements, it includes a free MTM Letter of Authenticity (LOA) and a COA from Associazione Autografia, included in the price, for internationally recognized protection.
