The Captain: Franco Baresi

Franco Baresi (Travagliato, May 8, 1960) is universally recognized as one of the greatest defenders in the history of world football. Captain of AC Milan for over twenty years, he embodied for generations of fans the values of elegance, leadership, and defensive solidity that made the Rossoneri club one of the most successful teams in Europe. With Milan, he won six Scudetti, three European Cups/Champions Leagues, and two Club World Cups. With the Italian national team, he participated in four World Cups, lifting the Cup in 1982 and reaching the final in 1994 — where, despite meniscus surgery just days before, he took to the field defying his physical limits in a gesture that has gone down in sporting history. His number 6 has been permanently retired by Milan in his honor.

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, and the spontaneity of the graphic gesture. In addition to these visual elements, it includes the free MTM Letter of Authenticity (LOA) and the COA included in the price for internationally recognized protection. The collectible value of an autographed photograph by a champion of this stature, linked to a precise historical moment, is destined to grow over time.
