BETIS: The fourth monographic book published by Takketto is tinged with green and white.
With immense enthusiasm, we created a powerful narrative and artistic issue to celebrate the team with which the people of Seville have linked their football destiny: Real Betis Balompié .
It's been a long job, but we're finally heading to the Sevillian capital to celebrate the green-and-white club that inspires passions in Seville, Real Betis Balompié. Let's be clear and avoid beating around the bush. There's nothing in the world quite like Real Betis Balompié. The most basic simplification, the one forced upon us by social constructs, is that Betis is a football club, although, as Antonio Picchi, the club's longtime manager (and patriarch of a clan of colossal Betis fans), always said, football is one thing, and Betis is quite another.
Over the next few pages, we're going to attempt the impossible: as we trace the team's history with a brushstroke of green, white, and green, we're going to explain why this sentiment reaches the heights of pagan religion, forever changing the lives of all those who come across it.
Because it all comes down to a short, concise, simple and grand name that explodes in people's throats when football becomes art: BETIS .
Carlos Bénitez, art director of takketto, explains: “The reading starts from the cover, which is why we have entrusted Marija Marcovich ( https://www.instagram.com/footballmarija/# ) with the task of presenting "BETIS", a 138-page book full of stories, images, photographs, illustrations and original drawings."
"BETIS is football culture, delivered through the fusion of art and words, true to takketto's mission," adds Michele Tritto, founder of takketto.
An independent, autonomous project, far removed from conventional gatherings and circuits, but no less ambitious for that. A series of monographic works on football teams, told through the words and images of an international team of collaborators, each accompanied by the same passion, vision, and curiosity, but above all, by the belief that there are no "B-sides" in football.
