To celebrate the 80th anniversary of Sorrento Calcio, “Sorrento, Worn Over Time” is an editorial project accompanying the launch of the anniversary jersey designed by Ezeta. A story that chooses to begin with what makes this milestone truly meaningful: people, and the deep bond between a club and its city.
Shaping the visual narrative is the photographic gaze of Giuseppe Romano, who moves through Sorrento following gestures, places, and people that define the city’s identity every day. His images capture a living relationship between the jersey, the city, and those who wear it, leaving space for time rather than emphasis.


The project originates from a proposal by Ezeta, who envisioned this anniversary not as a purely aesthetic celebration but as an opportunity to give voice to a shared history. From this intuition came the collaboration with Magliofili and Sport Media House, who curated the creative direction of the project, bringing together different sensibilities and languages to build an editorial narrative that enhances the jersey’s design and cultural meaning.
This story did not start in a photographic studio, but in the streets of Sorrento. The project took shape by walking through the city, knocking on workshop doors, entering laboratories, and stopping in places of everyday life. Those who live and work in Sorrento were asked what the city represents to them, and to wear a jersey that celebrates eighty years of belonging, memory, and identity.

The jersey thus becomes something alive, far from a purely celebratory or symbolic representation. It is part of daily life: work, routine, effort, and joy. A legacy that is not preserved, but worn.
The two versions of the jersey, white and black, are interpreted by real citizens, chosen not as models but as protagonists. Not didactic portraits dividing generations, but images that speak of encounters, exchanges, and continuity between past and present.
Iconic and ordinary places throughout Sorrento become an integral part of the narrative. The city is not a backdrop, but a living context, naturally intertwined with the jersey and the situations of everyday life.

The editorial project will be presented through a selection of photographs and video content released on social channels, accompanying the launch of the anniversary jersey.
Because some stories do not belong to a single moment.
They live through time, and they continue to be worn.
