“Gigi, guidi proprio di merda” - LONG LAP con Gigi Soldano

The LONG LAP with Gigi Soldano is long, but not long enough. It takes us back to the years of Valentino's gags, which he photographs exclusively in consultation with the guys from the Fan Club. It explains how much effort and luck it takes to take a stunning shot at the Corkscrew at Laguna Seca on the very day Valentino overtook Stoner, or that time he accompanied Valentino back to the pits after his Ducati crash in Japan, making him smile again despite his poor riding... There's so much in Gigi's voice and eyes: the challenge of a unique profession—that of a sports photographer—trying to immortalize stories, always seeking beauty and knowing how to pause out of modesty in dramatic moments. There's so much in this long lap. To see and hear. Get ready to take a mental snapshot.
