Hello everyone and thanks to those who would like to participate in the discussion and help me learn.
I am trying to replicate an effect present on a graphic element extracted from a PDF; I don't know if it is a gradient, a glow, a blur therefore I can't replicate the object in all its features.
Surely an insider will understand at first glance what is present on the exterior in a shaded burgundy of the element depicted in the next image:
Thanks to “edit PDF” I was able to extract all the different components of the element (via Acrobat Pro's context menu it gives me the option to edit the element using Illustrator). So I know that gradients have been applied but I don't know what kind they are and how they were obtained. Basically I have extracted burgundy filled rectangles with 30% opacity that have the geometric shape of the element inside them with very ill-defined/blurred white outlines.
If they are superimposed on the geometric shape they generate the gradient I am trying to replicate.
Forgive me if what I just wrote comes across as very confusing and is not described using appropriate language but I hope the image is more explanatory.
In any case, I also attach a screenshot of the elements extracted in Illustrator
Thank a lot to all the community members will spend their time to help me

You can write responses in your native language. As far as I can tell the forum's translate feature works pretty well.
The effects applied to the artwork elements look like Photoshop style effects that are pixel-based. It looks like the Inner Glow effect was applied to the flame shapes and outer ring shapes. The red icon in the middle has a drop shadow effect applied.
The red object in the center of the white circle looks like it has a combination of effects applied to it. The "S" or "5" shape may be compounded with the white circle shape so it acts like a hole to reveal another shape behind it that actually has the red-orange gradient applied to it. The circular white shape above it with the S/5 hole cut through it could have a drop shadow effect applied to it. The shadow effect would fall on the red-orange gradient underneath it.

The Red object Is a Number (Page Number 5) and was the only elementi I almost succede to replicate.
It has a Linear -90° Angle Red Orange Gradient and an Exterior Shadow with Burn Fusion method.
Later in the day I Will post a comparation between my replicate Page Number and the original One.
The main problem, for me, it's now understand how replicate the Inner glow on the "burned heel" element
