Mauro Tassotti's autographed photograph: the Milan defender in the "Cuore" shirt

A photograph of immense historical and collectible value (29.6x20.9 cm) depicting Mauro Tassotti in a pre-match shot wearing the official AC Milan Home shirt from the 1983/1984 season — the season of their return to Serie A after relegation due to the Totonero scandal. The young Tassotti — with thick dark hair typical of the era, an intense and focused gaze — wears the classic long-sleeved red and black vertical-striped Milan uniform by Ennerre (NR), with the famous "Cuore" sponsor in white on the center of the chest, the golden star, and white shorts. In the background, the blurred stadium stands on a match day. Mauro Tassotti's original autograph is placed in black marker on the bottom left of the print, large and perfectly legible. The holographic Witnessed sticker with serial AA21484 is applied to the bottom right of the photograph.

The Champion: Mauro Tassotti

Mauro Tassotti (Rome, January 19, 1960) is one of the greatest right-backs in the history of Italian football and an absolute legend of AC Milan, for whom he played continuously for seventeen seasons, from 1980 to 1997. Raised at Lazio, he arrived at Via Turati in 1980, soon becoming an unmovable pillar of the Rossoneri defense. Under the guidance of Arrigo Sacchi and then Fabio Capello, he won 5 Scudetti, 3 Champions League titles (1989, 1990, and 1994), 4 UEFA Super Cups, 2 Intercontinental Cups, and numerous other trophies, writing the most glorious pages of the "Grande Milan degli Invincibili" (Great Milan of the Invincibles). European Under-21 Champion in 1982, he made 7 appearances for the senior national team. After retiring, he embarked on a coaching career, remaining connected to the Rossoneri world as an assistant to Carlo Ancelotti and then Massimiliano Allegri.
