Football Kit Italia: The Greatest Kits and Characters of the Golazzo Era by John Blair is a vivid celebration of the unforgettable decade when Italian football sat at the very top of the world game. Spanning 1992–2002, this richly illustrated book revisits an era defined by iconic kits, superstar players and the irresistible allure of Serie A.
