Davide Astori's autographed photo in an Italian National Team jersey

A memento of great sentimental and collector's value: Davide Astori's autographed photo in an Italian National Team jersey, the Puma Home Euro 2016 kit featuring the classic blue with vertical stitching and gold details. The shot portrays the Florentine defender in an official pose in the Azzurri uniform, a symbol of the honor of representing one's country. The dimensions of 18.2x12 cm make it an ideal piece for framing. Davide Astori's original autograph is affixed with a black marker on the left side of the photograph, clear and perfectly legible, signed when the captain was alive. Excellent condition, impeccable preservation. A rare and increasingly sought-after piece by collectors.

The protagonist: Davide Astori

Davide Astori (San Pellegrino Terme, January 7, 1987 — Udine, March 4, 2018) was one of the most appreciated central defenders of his generation and captain of Fiorentina. He grew up in the AC Milan youth sector, building his career in the Italian leagues with Cagliari, Roma, and finally Fiorentina, where he wore the captain's armband, becoming a symbol of the Viola club. With the Italian National Team, he made 14 appearances, participating in the Euro 2016 qualifiers. His sudden death at only 31 profoundly impacted Italian and international football. His original autographs, signed during his lifetime, now represent mementos of constantly growing sentimental and collector's value.

What is an original autographed photograph?

An original autographed photograph is a photographic shot on which the athlete has personally affixed their signature, transforming a visual medium into a unique collector's item. It is distinguished from printed reproductions by verifiable elements: the irregular pressure of the stroke, the three-dimensionality of the ink on the photographic surface, the spontaneity of the graphic gesture. In addition to these elements, a free MTM Letter of Authenticity (LOA) is included, with the COA also included in the price for internationally recognized protection. The collector's value grows over time in relation to the signer's history and memory.
