  • Italy's Calciopoli Scandal
    Economics Working Paper Series 2014/006 An analysis of consumer response to corruption: Italy's Calciopoli scandal Babatunde Buraimo, Giuseppe Migali, Rob Simmons The Department of Economics Lancaster University Management School Lancaster LA1 4YX UK © Authors All rights reserved. Short sections of text, not to exceed two paragraphs, may be quoted without explicit permission, provided that full acknowledgement is given. LUMS home page: http://www.lums.lancs.ac.uk/ An analysis of consumer response to corruption: Italy's Calciopoli scandal Babatunde Buraimo∗ Giuseppe Migaliy Rob Simmonsz July 22, 2014 Abstract The literature on economics of corruption is lacking in evidence on consumer responses to identifiable scandals. The Calciopoli episode affecting Italian football in the 2005/06 season serves as an opportunity for an empirical investigation into consumer (fan) behaviour following punishments imposed by the Italian league on clubs whose offi- cials were found guilty of corrupt practices. Using a difference-in-difference estimation method, where the convicted teams are the treatment group, we find that home atten- dances for treated teams fell by around 16%, relative to control group teams defined as those clubs not subject to league-imposed punishment. We show further that the fall in attendances identified with Calciopoli punishment resulted in non-trivial gate revenue reductions. Our results suggest that a sizeable number of fans of the punished clubs were subsequently deterred from supporting their teams inside the stadium. We explore alternative explanations of this adverse fan response. Keywords: Corruption; consumer demand; Calciopoli; football; attendances. JEL Classification: L83 1 Introduction The purpose of this paper is to identify, using a difference-in-difference methodology, a pos- sible consumer response to a specific episode of corruption.

  • Sport Italia: 150 Years of Disunited Italy?
    Bulletin of Italian Politics Vol. 4, No. 1, 2012, 49-62 Sport Italia: 150 Years of Disunited Italy? Simon Martin University of University of Hertfordshire and British School at Rome Abstract: Since the Swiss grammar school teacher Rudolf Obermann introduced gymnastics into the Royal Artillery of the Savoy army in 1831, sport has played a key but consistently unrecognised role in modern Italy’s development and the formation of identity. Considering sport’s impact upon identity formation in Italy’s 150 years of history, this paper will reveal its national importance and how, as arguably the mass popular cultural activity, it potentially offered the only focal point around which all Italians might have been able to find and develop some sense of commonality. Capable of transcending Italy’s various class-based, regional, linguistic and cultural divides, sport’s immense power to influence and direct will also be seen to have contained negative potential, in terms of national identity. This analysis of sport’s capacity to shape Italian identity since Unification, will be conducted through brief comparison of four case studies: the glorious failure of the marathon runner Dorando Pietri, in 1908; the black boxer and European middleweight champion Leone Jacovacci, under Fascism; Neapolitan calcio and Lega Nord politics; plus the case of current international footballer Mario Balotelli. Raising complex questions these examples, as outsiders, reveal much about identity formation in post-Unification Italy while continuing to underline sport’s capacity to unite and confront what is now one of the country’s greatest challenges: the acceptance and embrace of a multi-cultural future.

Il torneo, fortemente voluto dalla casa sabauda, si svolge in un'unica giornata. Presenti 4 squadre: International Torino, FC Torinese, Ginnastica Torino e Genoa. Nonostante la superiorità numerica delle squadre torinesi, lo scudetto va al Genoa. 1899: La squadra detentrice del Genoa è ammessa di diritto alla finale, nella quale supera l’International Torino. 1900: Per la prima volta ammessa una squadra lombarda, si tratta del Milan, la quale arriva in semifinale contro l’ F.C. Torinese a sua volta sconfitta nella finalissima contro il Genoa. 1901: Prima sperimentazione dei gironi, nel girone piemontese si affrontano Juventus (nata dalla fusione di varie squadre torinesi) e Ginnastica Torino, in quello lombardo la Mediolanum e il Milan, quest’ultima, dopo aver superato la Juventus in semifinale, supera anche i campioni in carica del Genoa, aggiudicandosi il suo primo campionato. 1902: Il torneo si disputa in due gironi, nel piemontese la spunta l’FC Torinese, nel Lombardo - Ligure si affacciano gli ex-campioni del Genoa, che dopo aver superato il torinesi in semifinale, si vendicano del Milan, vincendo anche la finale e il quarto scudetto. 1903: Dopo aver brillantemente superato le eliminatorie, la Juventus è costretta ad inginocchiarsi davanti al Genoa, che conquista il quinto scudetto. 1904: Sulla falsariga del campionato precedente, la Juventus deve ammainare bandiera nella finale contro i rossoblu.

  • Portieri Difensori
    PORTIERI Simone DEL MESTRE (1983): Dopo 4 anni con il Catania e la Supercoppa vinta nel 2016 ha chiuso la sua prima esperienza con la Samb. Ha la fama di para rigori. Reattivo e abile soprattutto con i piedi è un punto di riferimento della manovra ed imprevedibile con il tiro dalla distanza. Nel panorama del beach soccer è considerato uno dei migliori portieri. La sua carriera sulla sabbia comincia nel 2008 con la grande tradizione della COIL Lignano dove al suo primo anno vince la Coppa Italia. Dopo Lignano la carriera da numero uno sulla sabbia è proseguita nella società capitolina della Colosseum Roma tra il 2011 e il 2012 dove ha giocato due campionati chiusi con un 2° e un 4° posto ma soprattutto la convocazione per due stagioni al mondiale per club dove difende i colori della gloriosa società argentina del Boca Juniors. Nel 2014 con Catania ha sfiorato il bersaglio grosso in Coppa Italia. Stesso discorso per la Coppa Italia 2015. Grande prestazione alla Euro Winners Cup 2015 dove Catania in casa si è preso un ottimo 2^ posto e Simone è stato eletto miglior portiere della competizione. Nel 2016 ha già segnato e parato rigori in Euro Winners Cup, Coppa Italia e Campionato. Nel 2017 l’apoteosi con l’Happy Car Sambenedettese: dopo nove anni a digiuno ha fatto indigestione di trofei vincendo Coppa Italia, Supercoppa e Scudetto. Nazionale: Con la Nazionale ha giocato quattro mondiali (2009, 2011, 2015, 2017, 19 presenze), l’ultimo ad aprile 2017 con Bahamas (4^ posto) collezionando 159 presenze condite da sei gol.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT Football was institutionalised as a Fascist game in 1926 after which, it was exploited domestically as a political soporific to develop a sense of Italian identity and internationally as a diplomatic tool to improve the standing of the regime in the global arena. By studying the experiences of club teams in Florence and Bologna, plus the success of the national team, this thesis draws conclusions as to the coexistence of apparently contradictory local, national and Fascist identities. Furthermore it contributes to the debate regarding the regime’s attempt to manufacture consent. The formation of the first national league in 1929, contributed to the emergence of a number of clubs which dominated European competition. Internationally, the Italian team won the 1934 World Cup, held in Italy; the 1936 Olympic soccer tournament; and retained the World Cup trophy in France in 1938.

  • Italian Football in an Era of Globalisation: Neo-Patrimony, New Localism and Decline

I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. 1 Abstract Italy and Italian football have captured the imagination of writers and fans across the globe. The Italia ’90 world cup reaffirmed Italy’s standing as a world power in football. It also marked a turning point in global sport. At the end of the twentieth century, global sport underwent a period of profound transformation. In parallel to similar process taking place elsewhere in politics, economics and society, sport was entering a period of de-regulation and commodification, which impacted national leagues and local fans. Despite the intensification of transnational global networks resulting from de-regulation, individual nation states still hold significant power. Likewise, national leagues are still significant to football clubs despite the growth of global markets and transnational competitions. Yet these global processes of commodification and de-regulation have impacted fans in vastly different ways. This thesis provides analysis of Italian football in relation to the impact of the changing global political economy.
