The protagonist: Riccardo Fogli

Riccardo Fogli (Pontedera, Pisa, October 21, 1947) is one of the most beloved and recognizable Italian singer-songwriters and bassists in the history of national pop music, known for a career divided into two major chapters: with Pooh and as a solo artist. He was a member of Pooh from the group's founding until 1973, contributing his voice and presence to the band's original character during its formative years. His solo career reached extraordinary heights starting in the 1980s, with songs like "Malinconia" (1982)—which became one of the great classics of Italian sentimental music—and his victory at the Sanremo Festival in 1982 with "Storie di tutti i giorni," one of the best-selling titles in the Festival's history. His warm voice, romantic lyrics, and an elegant and discreet stage presence made him one of the most beloved artists by the adult Italian public for decades. His autographed photograph with the date 2020 is a precise and documented collectible, linked to one of the most solid and cherished careers in Italian pop music.

What is an original autographed photograph?

An original autographed photograph is a unique piece where the protagonist's signature has been directly applied to the support in a certified presence, 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 support, and the spontaneity of the graphic gesture. The presence of the handwritten date adds an element of temporal precision, making the piece even more documented and verifiable. In addition to these visual elements, it includes a free MTM Letter of Authenticity (LOA) and an independent certification body's COA, both included in the price. The collectible value of a certified autographed photograph increases over time in relation to its historical relevance, the rarity of available signatures on the market, and the international popularity of the subject.
