Join me into exploring the birthplace of Italian football!
Genova, besides being a centuries long naval power, the birthplace of personalities like Nicolo Paganini and that other guy who was searching for alternate ways to India, gave also birth to Il Calcio!
In 1893 a group of English noblemen living in Genova founded Genoa Cricket club which 4 years later became Genoa Cricket & Football club. And the rest is history. We have the honor in this video to watch the oldest club in Italy live in one of the worlds most beautiful stadiums and enjoy it's spectacular atmosphere! The same stadium that almost 30 years ago witnessed the tragic consequences of football hooliganism when a young Genoa supporter tragically lost his life.
Genova is also the birthplace of possibly the youngest of Italy's most popular clubs, Sampdoria! We get the chance to chat with one of the Ultras of Sampdoria and also experience first hand the Banter side between the fans of these 2 teams.
