AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old Italian sports association pennant, presented here in a classic triangular shape with a rounded base, adorned with golden fringes at the bottom. The fabric features a border in the colours of the Italian flag (green, white, red) and a central print depicting three stylized figures with raised arms, one of whom is in a wheelchair. The inscriptions "A.S. 'A.M. Taigi'", "VENOSA Italia", as well as the logo of the F.I.S.Ha. (Federazione Italiana Sport Handicappati), are clearly visible.

The print is made directly on the textile, with graphics typical of associative sports from the 1980s-1990s. The pennant is suspended by a twisted golden cord, attached at the top. The whole is enhanced by a thick fringe at the bottom, adding an extra decorative touch.

The centre of the pennant highlights the theme of adaptive sports, with a dynamic illustration of athletes and stylized Olympic rings, emphasizing the spirit of sporting inclusion. The mention "VENOSA" indicates the city of origin or organization of the event or association.

The colours are well preserved despite a slight patina visible on the fringe and some creases on the textile surface. No major snags are visible on the displayed side. The inscriptions "F.I.S.Ha. Federazione Italiana Sport Handicappati" and the official logo are clear and well printed, confirming the associative origin of this pennant.

This vintage Italian sports pennant is typical of items given out at competitions, events, or exchanges between clubs, particularly in the field of disability sports.

Did you know? The F.I.S.Ha. (Federazione Italiana Sport Handicappati) was founded in 1974 to promote sports for people with disabilities in Italy. Pennants of this type were frequently exchanged during official or commemorative meetings, especially in the 80s and 90s, a period of strong development for parasports in Europe.
