I rarely run press releases for products that people send my way. But …
Rome Italy- The National Italian Rugby Team composed entirely of firefighters bare all for charity to help raise money for a worthy charity stateside. The anticipated debut premiere of the teams calendar has taken the city and Internet by storm. The Italian fire chiefs are not thrilled about the exploits of the team and have forbidden participation in promoting the calendar in Italy by the teams members.
The champion professional firefighters turn ruby players won the gold medal of their division this past July in Quebec, Canada. On Amazon.Com the sales for rugby products is number 3. This ranking is according to the companys listing of 1,200 rugby products. Solidly holding the number 1 position is the French national Rugby Team. However, this is a limited edition publication and thus not a commerical mass produced item.
This Italian national rugby team are champions on the field and heroes as first responders in these times that we live. A portion of the profits from the calendar’s sales have been designated towards hurricane victims stateside, chiefly of the Mississippe Delta region where the photographer Lee Andrew Giabenelli was born.
