⛈️ Well, that was a f*cking torrid evening for the locals
Catanzaro got pumped 6-1 by Ascoli (after taking the lead), bottom of the league and everyone got soaked
If that tale of misery has got you intrigued, our Calcio Travel Notes will follow in the coming days…

Some of those poor buggers will have watched Van Basten and Gullit in the flesh every week and now they're in a crowd of 400 drifting through a retirement village in the rain to see their team go down 3-0 to Bournemouth.
⛈️ At Stansted, hoping to dodge Storm Austen. If all goes well, we’ll be at Catanzaro v Ascoli tomorrow

🏟️ Anyone wondering why Como have large banks of unused seating at Stadio Sinigaglia in the UCL?
UEFA rules prevent the use of scaffold stands - so its out of bounds on European nights
Scaffold stands inhabit the space in front of the stand where the velodrome used to run

🏟️ Stadio Luigi Ferraris, Genova, 1950s
Italian football always has been fond of a helicoid staircase

🪄 Absolutely no coincidence that Davide Nicola is dressed like a magician during his unveiling at @VeneziaFC_IT
The greatest escape artist of our age is back up to his old tricks…
✊🏿To mark Black History Month, we tell the uplifting story of Napoli’s first black player, Jarbas Canè Faustinho
The Brazilian flourished during a 15 yr career in Italy. In 1994, under strange circumstances, he became the first black coach in #SerieA
