“Più di Undici”, the novel produced by the Spal curve

An adventurous trip to Bucharest, Romania, for a match of the Europa League Cup. And no, no jingle with which to console oneself. And yes, several meetings to remember. A ball rolling in the territory of dreams – what is Spal doing in Europe? – a group of friends who recognize each other. The starting points are different, the horizon to aim for is the same.

“Più di elevici” is the first example of a novel resulting from a collective work born inside a curve, specifically the West Curve of the Mazza stadium in Ferrara, see the entry Spal.

Community

–

A curve – understood as a community of people – which for years has stood out for its participation in social life. Thirteen hands (plus one), thirteen beating hearts, thirteen windows open to the world of football. Because the heart, as the choir (from the curve) is not commanded. Words, works and (sporting) missions by the LAPS (Autonomous Laboratory of Spalline Productions). Foreword by Pierluigi Pardo, afterword by Enrico Testa. The authors – and the protagonists of the novel – are teachers, metalworkers, employees. Citizens. Especially fans, not all ultras but all united by the same passion that is expressed in four letters, with the language that beats the most beautiful music on the palate, that of shared passion: Spal.
