EDITORS COMMENTS
The Jules Rimet World Cup trophy arrives in London for the World Cup draw, marking a historic moment in football history. In this print captured by Monte Fresco, we witness the culmination of an extraordinary journey. Dr Luiz Murgel of Brazil hands over the prestigious trophy to FIFA President Sir Stanley Rous, symbolizing the unity and excitement that surrounds this global sporting event. However, what makes this image truly remarkable is its connection to a tumultuous past. Meet Doctor Ottorino Barassi, the 67-year-old first vice president of the Italian Football Association. During the dark days of World War II when Italy were reigning world champions after their victory in 1938, Barassi courageously hid this very trophy under his bed to protect it from harm's way. As we delve into this snapshot from January 5th, 1966 - a time characterized by vibrant energy and anticipation - we are reminded not only of football's ability to unite nations but also of individuals who risked everything for their love of the game. This photograph serves as a testament to resilience and passion; it encapsulates both triumph and sacrifice within its frame. It invites us to reflect on how sport can transcend boundaries and inspire generations across time.
