Cards signed by the greatest footballers in history will be offered for auction, as well as those of athletes still in activity. Important memorabilia linked to the world of sport and cinema will be auctioned, with a special focus on the 1980s, a golden decade when it came to the rise of a ‘popular culture’ that from the United States invaded the world with its film, music and sports legends.
The auction aims to exalt that mass culture, made up of actors, showbiz personalities, footballers and sportsmen who contributed to forming Pop Culture: faces and names of men who have now entered the collective imagination.

Conditions of Sale
The Pop culture is a form of culture that reflects the predominant tastes, trends, lifestyles and ideas of a society at a particular time. It manifests itself through a variety of mediums, including music, film, television, fashion, literature, art, games, and other aspects of daily life. Our Pop Culture department is an irresistible fusion of passion for pop culture, selection skills, and passion for the auction world.
Our sneaker auctions are a testament to the perfect fusion of fashion, street culture, and iconicity. Our experts devote time and energy to selecting the rarest and most desirable sneakers, creating catalogs that enchant both fashionistas and pop culture lovers.
Our first sneaker auction (and the first ever in Italy) had a fantastic result with 60% of lots sold. The undisputed protagonists of the auction are two pairs of Air Force 1 Low Off-White, (the MCA – sold for 4.000 € – and the Air University Gold Metallic Silver – sold for 2.500 €) and also the Blazer Mid Off-White “The Ten” (sold for2.000 €), confirmation of the fact that with the collaboration between Off-White and Nike, Virgil Abloh has definitively revolutionized the world of sneakers, succeeding in making them more and more a cult object – especially after his recent death.
Other models that have achieved excellent results at auction are those signed by hip hop superstar Travis Scott: the Air Force 1 Low Travis Scott AF100 (sold for 2.300 €) and the Dunk SB Low (sold for more than 2.000 €).
