Story by contemporary Swiss writer Mattia Bertoldi (Collection “690 anni dopo e altri racconti” (“690 years later and other stories”)). Translated from Italian by Olga Boochi. “One of my latest stories, written for a competition announced by the Association of Sports Journalists of Ticino [1] in the summer of 2011. The only condition: connection with any sports discipline. My story was chosen as one of the top five and earned me a good discount at the bookstore, as well as an invitation to a barbecue.”
