Scheduled for those passionate about Italian football: this Sunday, August 9th, at 6:30 pm, Caffè della Versiliana, in Marina di Pietrasanta, will host the presentation of Giancarlo Antognoni's new book. Fiorentina's historic flag showcases "Una vita da dieci. My story between the Viola and the Azzurro", a work that promises to revisit the most memorable pages of his journey as number 10 and captain in Florence, as well as the moments lived with the Italian team.

An unavoidable figure in Calcio, Antognoni is synonymous with class, vision of the game and loyalty to a shirt. In “Una vita da dieci”, a title that plays with the dorsal that defined his style and status, the former midfielder delves into the memories of decades leading the viola team, in a period that shaped the recent identity of the Tuscan club. The subtitle — “between Viola and Azzurro” — points precisely to the central thread of the book: the bridge between the impact on club football and the importance of the contribution to the Transalpine national team.

The session at Versiliana will feature the participation of journalist Luca Calamai, a regular presence when the topic is football in Florence, and two guests who have spanned generations of the game: Daniel Bertoni, a former companion of adventures in the viola universe, and Silvio Baldini, a coach with long experience in Italian football. The meeting will be led by Enzo Bucchioni, a journalist who knows the stories and protagonists of calcio from the inside, ensuring rhythm and context to a conversation that promises to be rich in episodes and behind-the-scenes.

For Fiorentina fans, and for those who follow Italian football closely, this is a rare opportunity to hear, in first person, the account of one of the club's greatest emblems. Without exhaustive inventories of numbers, but with the authenticity of someone who lived in the dressing room and on the pitch, Antognoni must go through the decisive moments of his career, the meaning of wearing the captain's armband and the responsibility of carrying the number 10 shirt — so often associated with creativity and decisive talent on the big stage.

The Caffè della Versiliana, stage for cultural and sporting conversations during the Tuscan summer, offers the ideal setting for a meeting of memories, ideas and affections. At the table, Fiorentina as a sporting home and the Azzurri as an elite destination, in a dialogue that also helps to understand how the identity of a club and a national team intersect in the formation of the biggest names in football.
