The man in the photo, her best friend Rob Fay, just confirmed that this was not her final photo. It was this photo among others that were featured in the Stephen Fried biography of her titled Thing Of Beauty.

Rob bought a camera at a yard sale that he had no idea how to use it. Gia was kind enough to show him how to use it and they both took this together. Just a couple months shy of Gia tragically passing away on November 18 at only 26 from AIDS, at a time where little was known about the brutal disease and it was always a death sentence before better treatment was found.

Gia Carangi was an American supermodel, considered by some to be the first supermodel. She was featured on the cover of numerous magazines, including multiple editions of Vogue and Cosmopolitan, and appeared in advertising campaigns for fashion houses including Armani, Dior, Versace, and Yves Saint Laurent.

After becoming addicted to heroin, her career rapidly declined, which ultimately led her to quit modeling in 1983. In late 1985 she was diagnosed with AIDS and died nearly a year later. It is believed she had contracted it from a contaminated needle. As a result she became one of the early notable women to die of the virus. Her life was dramatized in Michael Cristofer’s HBO television film Gia starring Angelina Jolie as her.

I already have the 117 but I’m stumped on who to get once I complete the final chapter of Chronicles II. I’m thinking of updating my 103 Ballon d’Or Baggio but if I wonder if Maldini is more worth it

Cronache Inventate reports that contacts have been made in the last hours with the English club interested in evaluating the profile of Politano.

The negotiations remain complex but there is a filter of optimism between the two parties.

This is the actual screen used 1984 costume that Jai Courtney wore in the film that was sold at an auction. How could they possibly not include the paint smears and shit stain???

Although this year/season we will be celebrating our 100th anniversary as a club we actually were founded way back in 1905 being 121 years ago.

Football was first brought into the city by English sailors during the early 1900s. In 1905 English sailor William Poths of the Cunard Lines who was an avid footballer in his spare time decided to find a club while docked in Italy. A meeting held at San Severino 43 in Napoli with locals lead to the creation of Naples Foot-Ball & Cricket Club. Local Amedeo Salsi was named the first ever president.

The first ever kit consisted of sky blue and navy blue stripes (like Lecco) with black shorts and socks. Their first ever game was against the crew of the famed British ocean liner the SS Arabic of the White Star Line in a trophy match dubbed the Coppa Salsi for which they were victorious 3-2 which stunned everyone as the Arabic’s crew defeated the famed Genoa 3-0 days earlier.

One year after their founding “Cricket” was dropped from the name and was simply Naples Foot-Ball Club. In 1909, Sir Thomas Lipton of the famous Lipton tea brand, visited Sicily and created the Lipton Challenge Cup for southern Italian teams. The trophy went for seven years running with it mostly being faced off by Napoli and Palermo with us only winning it twice in 1909 and 1911. Early into its existence Serie A (then Prima Categoria) was only contested by northern clubs so the southern clubs faced off against sailors and in small one off competitions.

In 1911, the team broke off into a separate rival club called Internazionale Napoli who wore navy blue shirts and white shorts and both clubs were finally allowed to compete in Prima Categoria in the 1912/13 season. Naples FBC lost the central-southern final to Lazio on a 3-2 aggregate.

Due to financial pressures the two rivals were forced to merge into Foot-Ball Club Internazionale-Naples or FBC InterNaples for short in 1922. The merging of the kit colours came about the solid sky blue of today.

Finally on August 25, 1926 under the presidency of Giorgio Ascarelli and likely under the pressure of the new fascist Mussolini government to “Italianize” clubs InterNaples changed its name to Associazione Calcio Napoli and after a poor start under the new name with only one point the entire season they improved dramatically under the leadership of Paraguayan Attila Sallustro who was the first fully fledged hero of the club and who held the all-time goal record which was later surpassed by Diego and Marek. And the rest was history 🩵🩵🩵

Insiders of the editorial office of Napoli Journal have accessed the exclusive graphic proposal for the centenary kit.

The stylistic hypothesis reinterprets the blue tradition through a tone-on-tone damascus plot, gold trims and the return of the iconic corsiero on the chest. A visual tribute that combines classic elegance with the Napolitano football identity.

CGI and other graphic technologies that exist now existed back then to make his burns look as realistic as possible? Because in actuality a burn victim who suffered that extensive burns would not have their ears, nose, cheeks, lips and eyelids very much like this concept design.

If this technology existed in the 80s and was used on Robert with a mix of actual makeup and technology to show gaping holes like they did with Jackie and just went with the look throughout the whole series with Robert would Freddy still be as iconic as he is now with what we got?

According to GdM and TEAMtalk, we are very close to signing Guglielmo Vicario from Tottenham Hotspur as a replacement for Alex Meret. He is also being looked at by Juve but is strongly linked with us.

To ring in the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, here’s my take on making football themed kits based on everyone’s favourite livery and partnership. I made this years ago on FIFA Kit Creator. Let me know what you guys think and who you’re cheering on for the World Cup! 🏎️⚽️
