Studiare Maradona. Storie, tracce, emozioni

A choral book to approach a series of studies and reflections dedicated to Diego Armando Maradona. The great Argentine player, in fact, beyond the specifics of football is a central figure of a great imaginary of contemporaneity. His figure of impetuous strength and determination is within the broad and elusive territories of ‘mythology.’ Maradona has invaded, touched or brushed against so many fields of knowledge, influencing not only the fortunes of his teams, but also microeconomics, cinematic, historical, philosophical, legal, sociological visions, artistic parables and much more. This book is intended to be not only a ‘memorial’ space but also a space for social, theoretical and emotional reflection.
