Antera also on the field with Joseph Rossi
Next to soccer player Giuseppe Rossi, at the Artemio Franchi stadium in Florence, on Pepito Day, Antera, a historic company that produces alloy wheels, known for innovation, design and advanced technology and which is headed by G.M.P. Group, also took the field.
On the occasion of Fiorentina and Italian national team champion “Pepito” Rossi’s farewell to soccer, Antera chose to be present in a match attended by many international soccer stars.
For such a special occasion, Antera wanted to emphasize the link between sporting excellence and uncompromising style, which is why each footballer who attended the match was given an exclusive set of four Antera wheels, customizable to their car, as a gift. A symbol of elegance, performance and attention to detail, shared among those who live the passion for luxury and perfection.
“Being here is not only a way to participate in the dutiful tribute to Pepito, but a way to share with an exceptional audience the essence of Antera: no compromise between aesthetics and performance”, said Marco Finazzi, Antera sales manager.
The’atmosphere was ignited even before the kickoff whistle: in the mixed zone, in fact, historical faces of purple soccer such as Sébastien Frey, Luca Toni, Gabriel Omar Batistuta, Juan Manuel Vargas and David Pizarro relived the best sporting moments spent next to their friend, Fiorentina teammate and opponent of so many matches.
To cheer the audience and spectators (even those not physically present, thanks to live TV) two dream formations took to the green turf: the Pepito Team led by Chilean coach Manuel Pellegrini and Fiorentina entrusted to Roberto Dellapina, the first coach to believe in Rossi’s talent when he wore the colors of Parma Calcio. Moment of pure emotion at Pepito’s goal, with the Franchi exploded in a roar, taking Florence back in time for a moment.
“With its presence at Pepito Day, Antera reiterated a key concept: excellence knows no boundaries. Whether in the automotive world or in sports, what counts is the ability to make a mark, to stand out through uniqueness and vision. Man invented the wheel to move, Antera transformed it to excite. A concept that fits perfectly with the spirit of the evening: because true luxury is not just what you own, but what you choose to celebrate,” Finazzi concluded again.
