Christian Vieri's autographed photograph: the Azzurri striker at Euro 2004

A striking narrative photograph (20×13.5 cm) depicting Christian Vieri from behind in the golden number 9 jersey of the Italian national team during the UEFA European Championship Portugal 2004. "Bobo" — one of the most iconic strikers in the history of the Azzurri — is captured in the authoritative pose of a center-forward: right arm extended towards a teammate, voice orchestrating the attack, hair blowing in the wind. He is wearing the Kappa blue jersey, FIGC's technical sponsor from 2003 to 2009, with the historic official Euro 2004 patch embroidered on the right sleeve. His "Friends Forever" forearm tattoo, a distinctive detail of his, is visible on his skin. Vieri's original autograph is placed with a blue marker in the bottom right, below the imaginary line created by his extended arm, clear and perfectly legible. The condition is Excellent. An iconic memento for collectors of the Italian National Team and the golden years of world football.

The Striker: Christian Vieri

Christian Vieri, known as "Bobo" (Bologna, July 12, 1973), is considered one of the strongest center-forwards in the history of Italian football. A powerful, technical striker with a lethal left foot, he played for thirteen teams — earning him the nickname "football gypsy" — inextricably linking his name to Inter (1999-2005), where he won the Coppa Italia 2004/05. Previously, he had won the Scudetto 1996/97, the UEFA Super Cup, and the Intercontinental Cup 1996 with Juventus, and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup 1998/99 with Lazio. Top scorer in Serie A 2002/03 with 24 goals, three-time AIC Football Oscar winner, he was a protagonist at the 2002 World Cup where he equaled the Italian record for goals in World Cups (9 goals, shared with Paolo Rossi and Roberto Baggio). Euro 2004 in Portugal was his last major international tournament: he played all three matches of the Azzurri's group before their bitter elimination in the first round.

What is an original autographed photograph?

An original autographed photograph is a unique historical document where the champion's signature has been directly affixed to the print with documented provenance. It is distinguished from printed reproductions or facsimiles by verifiable elements: the natural pressure of the stroke, the three-dimensionality of the ink on the photographic medium, the spontaneity of the graphic gesture. The collectible value of an autographed photograph grows over time in relation to the career, historical relevance, and international popularity of the signatory subject.
