FIP and Orlandina: vent’anni together

Almeno dal 2006 FIP Porte è accanto all’Orlandina Basket, la squadra della nostra città. Lo raccontano due calendari fatti insieme ai giocatori: nel primo li abbiamo portati in fabbrica, nel secondo nella vita di tutti i giorni.

Champions in the factory

For the 2006 calendar, the players of UPEA Orlandina, then in Serie A, swapped the court for our workshop.

Hanno piallato telai, segato tronchi, verniciato pannelli e montato maniglie: le stesse lavorazioni che facciamo ogni giorno a Capo d’Orlando.

Chi gioca in Serie A sa che i risultati si costruiscono in allenamento. Una porta, in fabbrica. È lo stesso mestiere.

Basketball Lifestyle

Two years later we took the team out of the arena: on the street in a Fiat 500, at the barber’s, at the supermarket, in the office.

Ogni scena a colori e poi in bianco e nero, con gli autografi dei giocatori. Era la stagione in cui l’Orlandina arrivò per la prima volta ai playoff di Serie A.
