The champion: Francesco Graziani

Francesco Graziani, known as Ciccio (Subiaco, December 16, 1952), is one of the most beloved and representative strikers in Italian football of the seventies and eighties. A symbol of Torino — with whom he scored 122 goals in the Granata jersey, the seventh all-time top scorer in the club's history — he built an extraordinary career that also led him to play for Fiorentina and Roma. With the Italian National team, he experienced the peak of his sporting life on July 11, 1982, when Enzo Bearzot's Italy won the World Cup in Spain by beating West Germany in the final. That National team — with Zoff, Gentile, Cabrini, Tardelli, Rossi, and Graziani — is considered one of the strongest in the history of Italian football. After retiring, he embarked on a long career as a coach and television commentator.

What is an original autographed photograph?

An original autographed photograph is a unique piece where the protagonist's signature has been applied directly to the print with documented provenance, without intermediaries. It is distinctly different 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 surface, the spontaneity of the graphic gesture. These visual elements are complemented by the free MTM Letter of Authenticity (LOA), with the option to add the COA for internationally recognized protection. The collectible value of an autographed photograph with documented provenance grows over time in relation to the signer's career, historical relevance, and international popularity.
