Details

Designed in 1971 by the Italian Silvio Gazzaniga and in 1973 by the gold and silversmith workshop G.D.E. Bertoni S.r.l. The trophy made in Milan is a bottle-sized gold statue. It weighs 6.2 kg in total, 4.9 kg of which is 18-carat gold, and is 36.8 cm high. Due to its relatively low weight, it can be assumed that the trophy is not massive, but hollow inside. The trophy depicts two triumphant soccer players who hold the globe in their outstretched hands together.
