The gods of goal!
This meeting was supposed to be held at the Maracanã, the legendary temple of the round ball. But even in the less Rio-like Cuneo, Fulvio Paglialunga (In the Name of Football. Football as a Religion: Faith and Saints, Temples and Rituals, Rai Libri) will speak to us about myths and temples, and like a priest he will tell us about faith, rituals and sanctity. There will be no shortage of hymns, formulas, and banners, for a celebration of the most beloved sport: seriously ironic, rigorously surreal and religiously atheistic. Because football is not just a sport, it is an ancestral call. It is a sense of belonging, a secret code made of rituals and sacred places that allows perfect strangers to recognize each other as brothers in faith. Andrea Valente.
