The Prize

CharityStars are auctioning a very rare and unique item; the football shirt worn by the legendary footballer Gigi Riva during the 1964-65 Championship Games.

The shirt is made of a light woollen material with long sleeves (making it very rare indeed, given that most of the Cagliari footballer’s shirts were made of a thin material with short sleeves.) This particular shirt was part of the private collection owned by the Sports attorney Dario Canovi, who decided to auction it to raise money for a project from the charity “Girotondo For Africa.” The charity association will present the winning bidder with a certificate of authenticity if it is so requested.

Now you can try to secure yourself this unique piece of memorabilia and at the same time, contribute to a good cause!

The project: Girotondo for Africa - The construction of a nursery for the children of Ropi in Ethiopia.

How it works: the winning bidder will be notified via email and will receive the item within 7 working days, once the auction has been closed. He/She will receive a certificate of authenticity from the donator, upon request. Are you suspicious? Write to [email protected] or call us on 02 49762138.
