Every football story
is a love story.

Damiano Benzoni

⚽️ Content creator | Video host & producer | Sports writer ⚽️

Every football story is a love story, and deserves to be told with love. And – you guessed it – I love to tell a story, especially if a leather ball is involved. 

Articles, videos, podcasts, documentaries, brand campaigns, photographs: as a true utility player I have experimented with different positions in my career, and I relish in being a versatile storyteller who understands a bit of every role.

What kind of football player would I be? Probably a deep-lying midfielder, a Gattuso or a De Rossi: passionate, generous, hard-working, relentless, possessed to be where the action is.

I am looking for a new pitch to set my feet onto and for new stories to tell. If you feel like I could tell yours, feel free to reach out at damiano.benzoni@gmail.com
