It is not a low-grade show where adult men fight for the sole purpose of proving who is the strongest, because this is only the mask of a discipline based on the mythological-ritualistic representation of Pain and Suffering.

 If we want to understand wrestling, we must first preliminarily understand the anthropological context, the 'community form of life,' within which an interaction takes place between two or more people.

Andrea Corona's book offers a rich, interdisciplinary exploration of professional wrestling, framing it as a postmodern, ritualistic game beyond mere sport. The review praises the author’s integration of philosophy, anthropology, and semiotics to explain wrestling’s deeper cultural significance. It highlights Corona's discussions of language games, gesture meanings, and the blurred boundary between play and conflict. Recommended for academics, educators, and wrestling fans seeking a profound understanding of wrestling as a form of art and play. Discover the philosophical depths of professional wrestling with Andrea Corona's Giochi Ringhistici—read the review and explore this unique cultural analysis.
