“Everyone is crazy about Mario. The Balotelli phenomenon” This is the title of the new FIRSTonline and goWare e-book, written by the sports journalist Federico Bertone and available for purchase from July for €2,99 in all major digital bookstores.
Federico Bertone delves deeply into the background of the new Italian phenomenon. First of all football, as evidenced by the 85 pages full of goals and episodes on the field, but also journalistic and social.
The introduction is by Roberto Beccantini, historical signature of "La Stampa" and of Italian sports journalism, and the afterword by Guido Bolaffi, a well-known sociologist. The first explains how Balotelli possesses that natural gift of capturing all the attention and how this ends up conditioning his criticism and image, the second analyzes the side effects of so much fame combined with the figure of the "new Italian".
Super Mario is not just a footballer and, precisely for this reason, his story deserves an in-depth analysis. Impossible not to start from the Ghanaian roots of his native family, from the abandonment of his natural parents, from landing in the Balotelli family. And then the first steps as a footballer, children of an overflowing talent on display since childhood, with the ease typical of the predestined.
The explosion with Inter, the goals with Manchester City, Milan and the national team, but also the controversies arising from a difficult character, almost unmanageable at times. Mancini, Mourinho, Mancini again, Prandelli and Allegri, many have sought the magic potion to dose so much talent and just as much recklessness. In the midst of many stories, which make you think, smile, sometimes even angry. His numerous women, the instinctive reactions, the so-called Balotellate. Everything makes Mario discuss, for better or for worse, but nothing leaves one indifferent.
And for a new Italian like him, Federico Bertone and the publishers FIRSTonline and GoWare have chosen a modern formula, in a certain sense almost unexplored. The e-book is a new system, cheap, practical and, above all, rich in multimedia contents. Because in addition to the text, you can find images, music and goals, just like in the cinema. The life of Balotelli, man and champion: an unmissable show.
