An illustrated volume with international appeal that retraces the most significant moments of Roberto Baggio s extraordinary life and career, intertwining his football achievements with his profound spiritual journey. From the magic of the way he played to his personal challenges, from the roar of the stadiums to the silence of meditation, from the injuries that shaped his character to the serenity found in the Buddhist faith, every chapter explores a facet of his inner and outer path. Far from being a traditional sports biography, this book tells the story of Roberto Baggio via a series of keywords that reveal both the man and the champion, a visual and emotional journey through images and words, showing how behind the global icon lies a man who has always looked beyond the game, a symbol of determination, humility, and harmony.
