Since the 3rd of May, the legendary Italian magazine about supporters, SuperTifo is back on the news stands. With a history dating back to 1985, the magazine changed it’s staff after some horrible last few years, in which the quality of the content started going lower and lower.
We can make an idea about what is planned on behalf of the new editorial board from this Open letter wrote by Mirko Inglese:
AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL THE READERS
Year 1980…
In a cold December morning a young teacher turned her eyes to that boy sitting at the second line intent to contemplate the pages of his diary….
Hey boy, what are you doing??
Nothing, teacher! – he shy answered.
But when the teacher started turning over the pages of the diary, she understood she was in front of something that that seemed to be so incredible: on every single page of that diary there were represented a lot of detailed and accurate drawings of CURVE taken from many stadia in the world.
It was the beginning of a dream that 30 years after would become reality!
Dear readers,
I’m Mirko Inglese, I was born in Torino in 1973 and I’ve decided to inaugurate this new adventure with this letter starting with a little story of my childhood, with the desire to share with you the first step that brought me to the fulfilment of the biggest dream of my life.
I’ve been loving the world of football fans since I was a little boy, and that’s the reason why I have decided to embrace this fantastic project called “SUPERTIFO”.
It’s a very important moment for this historical magazine which, unfortunately, has known bad times because of the previous management (from which we keep at a safe distance because of the policy it followed in the past). So our intent is to take the magazine back to the good times, trying to let you understand what my ideals of football fan are.
Therefore I build up a group of professional people which will work behind the scenes to offer you the best we can and I think that your help will be very useful. For this reason we will give you a very wide space to your opinions and ideas that you can send us with the Net. Moreover, when necessary, we’ll take side with you in defending the football fans’ rights.
I’d like to say few words about the football fan card because I think that repressing a person who has got the strong passion to be a football fan is very indecent.
I would like to say a last thing: “SUPERTIFO” will be available in newspaper kiosks from May with new initiatives, new sections entirely dedicated to the soccer and other sports and new projects. Moreover we hope to have the possibility, within a year, to give out for free the magazine outside the Italian stadia.
Herewith I would like to thank all the people who support and help me.
BECAUSE VICTORIES DON’T GET BUILT BY THEMSELVES!!!
THANKS TO EVERYBODY!
With love……
