Inside Rugby

Description

Rugby is, according to Massimiliano Verdino, the fusion of ancient disciplines - fighting, running, team cohesion. What moves the athletes in today's game of rugby is identical to that which has driven athletes throughout history - depicted in cave paintings that depicted physical pursuits from 20,000 years ago and illustrations of Roman and Greek games from 2,000 years ago - the need to win the contest. Verdino has placed his shots side by side with some of the greatest art works, drawing incredible parallels between the two.

Massimiliano Verdino was born in Rome in 1965 and now lives in Milano. A successful sports photographer, he has done many exhibitions of his works and collaborated with many advertising companies. Winner of different prizes among which the ABB photo contest 'What is knowledge'.
