Benjamín Solari Parravicini fue un gran profeta argentino del siglo pasado. Nacido en una familia aristocrática de la época dedicó su vida al arte, fue un excelente pintor.

Milano, zona vecchia Fiera campionaria, meta anni Settanta. Linagibile scantinato di un elettrauto si trasforma in una cantina, o in un salotto, o in un circolo anche se rettangolare o forse in unosteria, in un dopolavoro per disoccupati, in una biblioteca, in un presidio di resistenza umana. Insomma, in un rugby club. Lunico rugby club al mondo che disputa esclusivamente il terzo tempo. Un terzo tempo rituale o anarchico, organizzato o improvvisato, ripetuto migliaia di volte nella cantina di Gabriele Cabrio detto Lele, elettrauto ovale in tutti i sensi. Qui ognuno dice liberamente la sua, narrazioni e battute, avverbi e proverbi, storie e geografie, uninsalata russa, un fritto misto, una macedonia esotica. E qui per quarantanni giungono giocatori da tutta Italia, perfino alcuni All Blacks, un giorno si presenta Eddy Merckx, una sera Diego Abatantuono. E tutti insieme a mangiare e bere, guardare la Coppa del mondo e il TriNations, ascoltare Miles Davis e Fabio Treves. E il rugby come religione e filosofia, come scusa e alibi, come missione e ambasciata, come eredita.Con la postfazione di Giorgio Terruzzi.
