In the history of sport, Paolo Rossi is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Paolo Rossi as Italian footballer (1956–2020).
Paolo Rossi was born at Prato in 1956. His recorded nationality is Italy.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
He worked as association football player and politician.
Sport is the rare field that publishes its own evidence: the result is the argument.
Recognition followed: World Cup Golden Ball (1982) and Ballon d'Or.
That the work was done from Italy matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Paolo Rossi died in 2020, aged 64. What survives is the work, which is the only durable form of a reputation.
