Amala, Milano is Black & Blue

20 of May 2023

I’m a big fan of Inter Milan, and there has just been a double derby of Milano in the semifinals of the Champions League, my favorite team won both games and qualified for the final in Istanbul on June 10th , in which they will face Manchester City, who will start as favourites.

Now, there’s this gorgeous photo of Bianca Balti with the stunning Milan Cathedral as a backdrop on her Instagram account and I decided to use it for my graphic art work.

I must add that Bianca Balti is a Milan supporter, so she represents the defeated fans in the Euroderby.

Inter’s colors are black and blue (and golden yellow) while those of AC Milan are red and black.
When one of the two teams from Milan wins the derby, its fans can say that the city is in its colours, so when Milan wins, the fans can say that Milano is red and black, when Inter wins, like this time, the fans can say that Milano is black and blue.

The Duomo is the symbol of the city of Milan so I decided to color it with the colors of Inter, while for Bianca, dressed in black, I added a little red, like the uniform of the team she’s rooting for.

This is the original picture:

And now my digital art work:

That’s it! I hope you like my new graphic art work dedicated to the Nerazzurri.
