An authenticity certificate for the artwork is available. Description: This drawing captures the iconic moment of Fabrizio Ravanelli celebrating his opening goal in the UEFA Champions League final on May 22, 1996. Depicted with his head covered and arms wide open, Ravanelli embodies the joy and passion that defined this historic match for Juventus. His goal set the tone for the game, ultimately leading to Juventus’s victory over Ajax in a penalty shootout after a tense match. This artwork encapsulates not only the athlete’s exuberance but also the collective spirit of the Juventus team and its supporters during this memorable occasion. Signed in the lower right corner “Silombria ’96,” this drawing serves as a powerful homage to the exhilarating emotions of football and the legendary moments that resonate with fans. Artist Biography: Marco Silombria (Savona, 1936 - Albissola, 2017) was a painter, sculptor, and advertising graphic designer active in Turin since the late 1960s. After starting his artistic career in the 1950s, working with prominent figures like Emilio Scanavino and Lucio Fontana, Silombria became one of Italy’s most innovative advertisers. He collaborated with major brands such as Fiat, creating memorable advertising campaigns. His style, influenced by Pop Art and Art Deco, is characterized by strong visual impact and a celebration of beauty and athleticism—recurring themes in his works. History of Juventus: Founded in 1897 in Turin, Juventus is one of the most prestigious and successful football clubs in the world. Born from the meeting of a group of young students, Juventus has cultivated a legacy that evokes passion and pride among its fans. Nicknamed “La Vecchia Signora,” the team has amassed historical trophies, becoming a symbol of Italian football. Known for its distinctive style of play and ability to nurture legendary champions, Juventus has built a rich narrative of success and challenges. The Allianz Stadium, the venue for these feats, stands as a testament to the dedication of a fan base that has consistently supported the team through triumphs and hardships. The Agnelli family has played a crucial role, helping to keep the bianconera tradition alive and ensuring that Juventus remains a pillar of world football. Collection: The entire collection of drawings is available for purchase, including three different sizes: 3 small (50 x 36 cm), 9 large (72 x 50 cm), and 14 giant (101 x 72 cm). Note: All drawings are hand-signed by the artist. Total number of works in the collection: 26. Artist Biography: Marco Silombria Italian Pop Art artist Marco Silombria (Savona, 1936 - Albissola, 2017) was a respected and esteemed painter, sculptor, ceramist, and advertising graphic designer, active in Turin from the late 1960s. Silombria’s artistic journey began in the 1950s when he studied under Emilio Scanavino, one of Italy’s influential modern artists. He later collaborated with Armando Testa in Turin, creating advertising campaigns for major brands like Fiat, Facis, Superga, and Defonseca from the 1970s to the 1990s. His advertising work is recognized for its strong Pop imprint, effectively merging artistic creativity with commercial appeal. As one of the founders of the CGSS agency, along with notable advertisers such as Silvio Saffirio, Gagliardi, and Giorgio Caponetti, Silombria signed several successful campaigns, including those for Gallo Rice and the Fiat 127, and designed posters for the Gruppo Finanziario Tessile. His work in advertising showcased his ability to blend artistry with market demands, earning him a reputation in both the art and business communities. In the 1980s, Silombria transitioned to painting, dedicating himself to openly and decidedly homoerotic art. His works during this period reflect a blend of new Dadaism and Pop Art, often exploring themes of beauty, athleticism, and sexuality. Silombria’s admiration for the male form is evident, as he sought to reinterpret classical motifs and celebrate the aesthetics of the human body in his art. Always an active advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, Silombria was the “creative mind” behind the first Italian homosexual association, Fuori!, which aimed to promote visibility and rights for the gay community. He was among the first to introduce male nudes in a pop-Dada context to Italy, challenging societal norms and pushing the boundaries of artistic expression. As a ceramist, Silombria also drew inspiration from Greek mythology and classical culture, further emphasizing his admiration for the statuary male body. His multifaceted contributions to the arts and activism have left a lasting impact on Italian culture and continue to resonate with contemporary audiences.
