About Strikers & Stickers - Football Stories Between Italy and Scotland
The Italian Institute of Culture in Edinburgh, in collaboration with Mo’ Better Football, the Scottish Football Museum, Panini and the Consulate General of Italy for Scotland and Northern Ireland, is delighted to present the exhibition Strikers & Stickers – Football stories between Italy and Scotland.
On at the Scottish Football Museum at Hampden Park, home of Scotland’s national team, from Thursday 6th February to Wednesday 12th March 2025, this exhibition offers visitors the chance to relive unforgettable moments, savour the joy of a victory or softly recall the sting of a defeat. It invites adult visitors to reconnect with familiar faces and characters that evoke memories of their youth or other significant times; for younger guests, the exhibition introduces an unknown imagery full of surprising charm.
This exhibition celebrates the connections between Italian and Scottish football cultures exploring the stories of teams and male and female players and featuring a quintessential Italian football icon, the Panini stickers.
The original material on display is part of Gianni Bellini’s private collection, considered the world leading collector of football cards, a product that has changed through the years to become a form of historical and cultural entertainment. Simone Ferrarini‘s illustrations instead evoke a graphic language once used in the newspapers, now offering romantic suggestions.
The aim is to highlight that football is a vital part of Italian and Scottish national histories and cultures and at the same time is part of a shared culture; regardless of the colour of the jersey, of where and at what level it’s being played, football can embody the positive values that sport can represent and that we want to promote. This occasion presents a chance to revisit the cultural and human relationships that have developed from our shared enthusiasm for the sport of football, as well as to establish new ones.
Opening hours coincide with the opening hours of the Scottish Football Museum. Please note that part of the exhibition requires entry fee. For more information, please visit https://www.scottishfootballmuseum.org.uk/ or call 0141 616 6139.
