Calì from Italy. Thanks!
This ball was a high-tech product which
was manufactured entirely from quality synthetic fibers. The
lowest covering consisted of textiles impregnated with latex for
form stability and resistance to tearing, the neoprene layer made the ball water-tight and the outer
skin made of polyurethane layers
was used for abrasion resistance
and good rebound properties. The name and intricate design took their inspiration from Italy’s magnificent, ancient history and the contributions and fine art of the Etruscans. Three Etruscan lion heads decorate each of the 20 Tango triads.
Other version of the Etrvsco ball include the
1992
European Championships and the 1992
Olympics.
