Ragazzi di Stadio

1979 first edition of Daniele Segre's important photobook of Turin's ultras - the hardcore football fans of Juventus. 

For two years, Daniele Segre (1952-2024) frequented the Juventus Fighters and the Turin Ultras. He saw young people from the lower classes mingling with the upper middle class, some leaning toward the far left, others toward the far right. Segre was everywhere: at the marches, at the fans' preparations, at the weekly fan meetings, and even attended many away matches. And when he had the feeling something was about to happen, he would take out his Nikon and snap away, as if nothing was happening.
