Italy is the land of excellence, the beautiful country is admired all over the world not just for the delicious food, but also for soccer and fashion.

Sometimes this two features converge, as in the case of the successful meeting between Totò Schillaci and Elitaly, the brand of leather goods, handbags and briefcases that proudly expresses its origins exclusively made in Italy.

Totò Schillaci (born Salvatore) in an Italian soccer player famous for his exploits during 1990 World Cup in Italy, that earned him the nickname “Toto-Goal”

Like any tale, Schillaci’s dream wasn’t without troubles: called in the national team as reserve of Andrea Carnevale, Schillaci was aware of having a less important role. During the first match, after the middle of the second time, where the score was still 0-0, the coach Vicini sent him to the field: after just four minutes, Schillaci made the decisive goal, allowing the Italian team to win the game. Totò won immediately the hearts of fans, becoming the holder of the attack with Roberto Baggio, scoring in all games played against Czechoslovakia, Uruguay and Ireland. Schillaci became a real national symbol to the point that Roberto Baggio made him pull the decisive penalty kick against England.

At the end of the World Cup, the Italian player became top scorer with six goals, he was elected best soccer player of the tournament: in the same year he was second in the Fifa Ballon d’Or ranking and won the Adidas Ballon d’Or and the Adidas Golden Shoe.

Today Toto Schillaci, born and raised in the popular quarter St. John the Apostle, returns to his Palermo where since 2000 manages the Louis Ribolla sport center for young players.
