How did Silvio Gazzaniga create the iconic FIFA World Cup trophy?

After Brazil won the Jules Rimet Trophy permanently in 1970, FIFA commissioned a replacement. Italian sculptor and artist Silvio Gazzaniga's design of two footballers triumphantly lifting the globe beat 52 other submissions from seven countries. Crafted in 18-carat gold with a green malachite base, the trophy debuted in 1974 and remains football's most prestigious prize.
