Football, or calcio as it’s known in Italian, holds a special place in the hearts of Italians. It’s not just a sport, but a way of life, and one that is deeply ingrained in the country’s culture and identity. IMAGO’s photographer Antonio Balasco captured the triumphant season of SSC Napoli through his lense and helps us understand the culture in the Mediterranean city in the South of Italy.
Pallapugno, or formerly pallone elastico, originates from ancient Italy. Played with a bandaged fist, today’s game is a celebration of athlete and community. Photographer Gabriele Facciotti captures decisive moments, composite angles and the people surrounding the unique sport.
Sport and action photographer, Gabriele Facciotti, began his photography story with his father’s reflex camera. Now, he talks to IMAGO about his passion for the art form and cycling in equal measure. Read his conversations with miniature cyclist enthusiast and artist, Corrado.
