Italian Football Tickets, Marvel and Marble

Published by Gonoa Green on Tagged Wonderful world, Sports tourism

Sports Events 365 deals quite a lot with Italian Football and Italian football tickets. So, naturally, I went there for my vacation and came back a captive fan. Not only they have some of the best football clubs in the world, and a serious approach to this important occupation, but they also have some of the best marble in the world (Remember Michelangelo?). Driving through the mountains in north Italy, I saw many factories with amazing blocs of marble in the front yard. They are not to be found in the tourists’ zones, but on side roads and small towns with little touristic interest. Even the roofs are made of slabs of the local stone. I was impressed. I even thought of bringing back one with me, but the 20 Kg. limit of my (Italian) airliner ended that scheme. I really think people should go to Italy for a restful yet active vacation. I saw thousands driving around with bicycles attached to their trunks. I even saw one car pulling a small trailer with a little hot sports car on it! They where planning to go up and down those mountains with that sports car, I am sure! You can also go to their MotoGP races, but that’s more to the south. When you do visit north Italy, see that you go to the San Siro stadium in Milan. Keep a free weekend for that good cause. You can’t be wrong there; the stadium is the home of two of the most interesting and distinguished clubs in Europe – AC Milan and the Italian champion, Inter. So, whenever one team plays at home, the other team plays away and every weekend is a celebration of football. The best way to get the full impact of the San Siro effect, try to be there when one of the local derbies is on – which happens twice a year. The next match between AC Milan and Inter on the Seria A is on the weekend of September 28^th. No need to go to the carnival in Rio. It is all there, in this AC Milan vs. Inter match!
