RIETI 🏀🏘️

Almost 3,000 years old, this beautiful town in Lazio knows how to look after its visitors.

80km north-east of Rome, this was the Bryants first stop in Italy - their first house is pictured here, and the court Kobe initially practiced on too (“Black Mamba Enjoys Here”), and I have to say a big thank you to Bruno, Luigi, Claudio, Alessia and rsrsebastianirieti for their incredible support and hospitality 🙌

I visited Kobe’s old school, captured a mural dedicated to him and Gianna, and strolled around what was the most picturesque place. 

My new 🎥 “Ciao Kobe” for sportsillustrated is out now - links in bio!
