ITALIAN FOOTBALL

'There is no doubting that the spectacle of Italian football is one of the best in the world. The flares, fans and fashion that surround the national obsession on the peninsula make for some striking and memorable images. Many of these have been captured by photographer Tim Reder and presented in his splendid book 'Calcissimo'
Calcio Italia magazine'

ITALIAN FOOTBALL
Between 2001 and 2007 I photographed the colour and the passion of Italian football; from the big clubs and their famous players, to lower division football, women's football, through to kids kicking a ball around in the street and other peripheral subjects relating to the game.

A selection of over 140 of these images are now available in a stunning new book
