The idea of making a website exclusively dedicated to the Lightweight
teams was in our mind for a long time.
Unfortunately several elements lacked to realize it or was necessary that the essential
elements met.
In fact if Filippo Leone, Andrea Bianchini and Andrea Putignani had
good if not excellent, knowledge of the world of lightweights.
His computer proficiency matched to his young, but great
passion for the Subbuteo, made a long lasting dream come true.
For many years we considered necessary to make
a site Lw as, although debtors to
Peter Upton,
we were not completely satisfied of whom it offered the Internet panorama
puts into effect them.
Perhaps no site at the moment can boast real photos
of the hundreds (1500 pieces according a late esteem) of existing Lw teams.
The Lw teams in fact, although more recent of the Heavyweight, have such a
variety of models to discourage, up to now, whatever attempt of complete
catalogation. Catalogues on linens in fact use only some real photos
(nearly all taken from catalogues Italians) and instead many designs of she
catalogues classics.
The innovation that we propose is to show, as far as
possible, the real photos of all the existing Lw squares, including all
the possible variations. Obviously, we do not hide it, is an ambitious
target that will take a lot of time and application, but we trust in our
passion for the Subbuteo and are also sure of the cooperation of everyone
we are convinced to reach the unreached.
This is an unofficial tribute, and not connected with Hasbro and Parodi in any way.
