Vintage volume dedicated to the history, technique and culture of sport, part of the “Monografie dello Sport – Vol. II” series, an interesting historical publication featuring in-depth coverage of a wide range of sporting disciplines.

The book explores several sports and activities, including football, baseball, cycling, bowls and hunting, through historical and technical texts, period photographs, illustrations and colour plates. Particularly noteworthy is the section devoted to football, tracing its origins and development while also focusing on the birth and early years of the Italian national team.

The football section is enriched by numerous historic images and photographs of some of the great players of the era, together with evocative action shots. The volume also features colour photographs relating to Italian football, including players from AC Milan, Inter and Juventus, offering a fascinating visual record of an important period in the history of the Italian game.

Of particular interest is the section on baseball, edited by Enzo De Luca, featuring photographs and articles dedicated to some of the sport’s legendary figures, including Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb and Joe DiMaggio. The volume also includes a section on cycling, with the rolls of honour of the Tour de France and the Professional Road World Championships, as well as extensive chapters devoted to hunting and its historical and technical development.

The publication retains all the charm of the great 20th-century illustrated sports encyclopaedias, in which photography, reporting and detailed analysis combined to present sport not simply as competition, but as a historical, technical and cultural phenomenon.
