"I started working in a factory, that manufactured medals and trophies as an adolescent, when I left school. When FIFA announced the competition for a new World Cup trophy in 1971, I was already very familiar with that type of work. But that time, I tried to do something different. "我离开学校后年纪轻轻就为一家生产奖章和奖杯的工厂工作。1971年，当国际足联征集新的世界杯奖杯方案时，我已经非常熟悉这类工作了，但是，我要尽力做得与众不同。

I didn't know who was in the jury, what sorts of thing they might like. So I submitted three different prototypes, complete with drawings and models. The one that was chosen was actually my favorite. It's a true piece of sculpture, representing the energy and dynamism of sport. 我不知道评选团由哪些人组成，不知道他们会喜欢什么样的设计。因此，我提交了三种不同的原型，包括设计图和模型。被选中的设计恰好是我最喜欢的。它确实是一件象征着体育所蕴含的能量和活力的雕塑。

From the base, the figures of two athletics rise in spirals in the compact body of the sculpture. I wanted to convey the sense of jubilation felt at the stirring moment of victory. I think I achieved the purpose. 从基座起，两名运动员的人形沿小巧的雕塑体呈螺旋状向上伸展。我想表达出胜利时刻那种激动人心的感觉。我相信我做到了。

Fans around the world certainly seem to like it a lot. Of course, every time I see it, I feel very proud. But my greatest satisfaction was when Italy won the World Cup. 全世界的球迷看起来都很喜欢它。当然，每次看到它的时候，我都非常骄傲。但给我带来最大满足的是看到意大利队获得世界杯冠军那一刻。

Apart from the World Cup, I've designed many other cups. Last year, for example, I designed Cup Ad Fie for FIFA. You see, despite my age, I still work a lot. Work keeps men alive." 除了世界杯，我还设计过许多其他奖杯。比如，去年我为国际足联设计了Ad Fie杯。尽管我已经老了，但仍然不停地工作着，工作使人充满活力。
