At football stadiums, in Italy in particular, it is common to witness manifestations of racist intolerance and ideological statements referring to regional, national and international issues. Concurrently, there has been a rise in conflict between Italian police forces and hardcore football fans. The fan-protagonists of such episodes are often groups known as the UltraS ; the capital S is a neologism of this study to define neo-fascist oriented supporters. The nomenclature differentiates them from the wider hardcore football supporters who are instead referred in this research as ultrá . Despite their presence among the Italian curve (football terraces), the UltraS have been the subject of very limited methodical ethnographic study. The present study seeks to correct this lacuna and is the result of ethnographic research conducted from 2003 to 2006 and updated from 2007 to 2009. This thesis seeks to evaluate the UltraS phenomenon via an examination of two nationally renowned groups located in the Italian capital of Rome. The groups, the Boys of AS Roma and the Irriducibili of SS Lazio, enact their performances on the respective curve of the city’s Olympic Stadium. This research considers the UltraS gatherings as a form of ‘ideological communitas’. In doing so, analysis introduces and explains the four essential elements of the UltraS logic: the principle of non omologazione (non-conformism), the concept of the ‘true’ UltraS ; the opposition of Tradition versus Modernity in the UltraS condition, and finally the attempt by them to live up to the ‘Warrior Spirit’. Analysis further identifies the ideological and anti-system based alliance between the UltraS of Lazio and Roma and other similar gatherings throughout Italy. This phenomenon, together with an increase ideologisation of the Italian curve , incidents such as the death at the hands of the police gun of the SS Lazio fan Gabriele Sandri in 2007 (and the concomitant violent UltraS reactions against a variety of institutions) and the appearance in 2008 of the UltraS Italia, may signify the beginning of an UltraS collective identity, and a concomitant emergent status of the UltraS as a social movement, which stands in opposition to the perceived repressive Italian State and its media allies. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract……………………………………………………………………………………….4 Chapter 1: Introduction…………………………………………………………………......7 1.1 Hardcore Football Spectatorship: Italian Theories……………………………………8 1.2 Amongst the ‘thugs’?…………………………………………………………………...11 1.2.1 Objectives of this Thesis ……………………………………………………………….. 12 Chapter 2: Notes on Methodology………………………………………………………....14 2.1 The object of Suspicion………………………………………………………………....16 2.2 Overt or Covert?..............................................................................................................17 2.3 The Gatekeepers of Knowledge………………………………………………………..20 2.4 Data Collection and Analysis………………………………………………………......23 SECTION A: THE BOYS AND IRRIDUCIBILI’S SOCIAL WORLD……………......29 Chapter 3: Rome and Glory: The curva sud and the Boys……………............................31 Chapter 4: ‘Dare, Believe be Reckless’: The curva nord and the Irriducibili……….....41 SECTION B: MAKING SENSE OF THE ULTRAS LOGIC………………………......52 Chapter 5: Political Ideology and the UltraS ……………………………………………..53 5.1 The Movimentist roots of the Italian Neo-Fascist Youth…………………………....53 5.2 Ordine Nuovo…………………………………………………………………………..57 5.3 Terza Posizione and its 21 st century inheritor: Forza Nuova……………………….59 5.4 Casa Pound Italia and the UltraS ………………………………………………...….62 5.4.1 Aboard the Cutty Sark …………………………………………………………...... 65 Chapter 6: The UltraS communitas and the idea of Non Omologazione……………..73 6.1 The norms of the communitas……………………………………………………..…79 6.2 Non Omologazione: The Non-Conformists……………………………………….…82 Chapter 7: The ‘true’ UltraS and the Modern world……………………………..…….86 7.1 The Power of Culture (in ideology)………………………………………………..…87 7.2 Tradition versus Modernity…………………………………………………………..99 7.2.1Tradition and Modernity: Football Opposed ……………………………………..104 Chapter 8: The ‘Warrior Spirit’………………………………………………………...109 8.1 Footballers: Once were Warriors?.............................................................................115 8.1.1 Paolo di Canio: Un Irriducibile ………………………………………………….119 8.2 Boys and Girls: Gender Issues and the UltraS………………………….………….121 Chapter 9: Conceptualisations of Nation and Race……………………………………129 9.1 The Racist-UltraS Couplet…………………………………………………………..135 9.1.1 The UltraS and the Eastern Europeans Immigration ……………………………140 5 Chapter 10: The UltraS : An emerging social movement?..............................................145 10.1 From ultrá to UltraS……………………………………………………………...…145 10.1.1The Rise of the UltraS …………………………………………………………….147 10.2The UltraS Collective Identity……………………………………………………… 150 10.3 Deprivation: A Reason for the UltraS mobilisation?...............................................153 10.4 The Football Stadium as the 21 st century Italian Agorà…………………………..159 SECTION C: THE WARRIORS’ AND THEIR FOES………………………………..164 Chapter 11: Contested meanings; The Italian Media and the UltraS…………...…….165 11.1 The voices of the reason?............................................................................................166 Chapter 12: Dura Lex Sed Lex: The response of the ‘System’………………………...178 12.1 The Italian Anti-UltraS legislation…………………………………………………180 12.2 Italian Models of Policing…………………………………………………………...188 12.3 The View of the ‘Persecuted’……………………………………………………….194 12.3.1 The Danger of the Curve Radicalisation………………………………………...197 Chapter 13: Concluding Remarks…………………………………………………...…..203 13.1 Understanding the Curve Warriors…………………………………………….….209 References………………………………………………………………………………....214 6 Chapter 1 Introduction In October 2008, the world champion Italian national football team (nicknamed the Azzurri ) played a 2010 World Cup qualifying match against Bulgaria in Sofia. This occasion saw the first appearance of 150 members of the recently formed UltraS Italia . During the match, they chanted ‘Duce, Duce’ (‘Leader, Leader’) in honour of the long dead Italian fascist leader Benito Mussolini. Celtic crosses were sported and the Roman salute was enacted during the pre-match playing of the Italian national anthem (La Repubblica –online- 12 October, 2008). The Italian media were outraged; their reporting of the incidents made the UltraS Italia instantly notorious. This episode illustrated to Italy, and the world, yet another manifestation of Italian induced football-related intemperance. It also confirmed the existence and strength of an ideologically influenced hardcore Italian football fan: the UltraS . It is difficult to make sense of the emotions, logic and violence that the UltraS express without considering the nature of the football stadium. This locale provides for collective behaviours and a wide variety of associations. The common-sense correlation of the Italian term tifo (football supporters) with ‘fanatic’ is derived from the medical pathology of typhus with its classic symptoms of alternate phases of illness and well-being (Gould, 2002). A football fan in Italy is similarly characterised in the public eye by phases of ‘normal’ behaviour alongside temporary (football-related) abnormality. Social anthropologists would argue the case for applicability of the notion of liminal moments (Turner, 1977). Active tifo do not always see the entire actual match -a paradox and an absurdity in the eyes of ‘ordinary’ fans who pay their admission at the stadium- as they busy themselves in a variety of tasks. Those leading the chants turn their backs to the pitch to face fellow supporters urging them to voice their encouragement for the team and to create a spectacle . Some dedicate a great amount of their time outside of the stadium prior to the match, co-ordinating group operations with the goal of initiating or at least maintaining the social order of this micro-system.

Mr Caspar Glyn QC (instructed by Mishcon de Reya LLP ) for the Defendant. Judgment Mrs Justice Whipple: I. Introduction 1 The Claimant was the Director of Football of the Defendant football club from 10 July 2014 until his dismissal on 26 January 2015. The Claimant claims the sums specified in his contract of employment (the “Contract”) as falling due on termination without notice. In the alternative, he claims damages for wrongful termination. He also claims for salary, expenses and accrued holiday pay due at the date of dismissal. 2 The Defendant denies the claim. The Defendant contends that it was entitled to dismiss the Claimant summarily. The Defendant wrote to the Claimant on 26 January 2015 saying he was dismissed with immediate effect “ as a consequence of serious misconduct by you that have brought the Club into an unbearable situation, as well as the breaking by you of the good faith principle underlying the employment contract” . No explanation was given in that letter or at that time. 3 The Defendant now contends that its reason for dismissing the Claimant, at that time, was the discovery of the Claimant's overspending on players and failure to admit to that overspending when questioned.

  • Marco Sanna, Il Guerriero Ichnuso Di Claudio Nucci 27 Marzo 2021 – 11:38
    1 “Album dei ricordi blucerchiati”: Marco Sanna, il guerriero ichnuso di Claudio Nucci 27 Marzo 2021 – 11:38 Genova. Sardegna e Liguria, si interfacciano da secoli sul mare; sono due popoli, che hanno nel proprio background una convivenza tra pescatori e contadini, magari alternando un lavoro all’altro, a seconda delle stagioni… ecco il perché di una simbiosi ed empatia fra genovesi e sardi, tali da affinare caratteristiche culturali simili. Facile, quindi, che l’un l’altro possano trovarsi bene, quando le opportunità della vita li portano a “giocare in trasferta”… E’ il caso di Marco Sanna, sardo nel profondo dell’anima, ma che, nei tre anni passati nellaSampdoria, ha saputo integrarsi perfettamente nella quotidianità della vita genovese. Piedi ben radicati a terra, Sanna trova nel Tempio il suo trampolino di lancio, per farsi, giovanissimo, un nome in Serie C2 e non accusa il triplice salto di categoria, quando a 23 anni, dopo 6 anni di gavetta, lo chiama il Cagliari del presidente Cellino e nemmeno si spaventa al primo incontro, in sede, con il dirigenteGigi Riva, il mitico ‘Rombo di tuono’, non solo il più forte attaccante della storia italiana, ma autentical’ icona rossoblù. In quel Cagliari, il campione è Enzo Francescoli (73 partite e 17 goal con ‘la celeste uruguaja’), ma l’anima della squadra è rappresentata dai“Quattro mori”, quelli della bandiera dell’isola: un poker di “volti bendati”, costituito da capitanGianfranco Matteoli, Vittorio Pusceddu, Gianluca Festa ed appuntoMarco Sanna: un quadrilatero di ferro, capace di incarnare lo spirito sardo. E’ Carlo Mazzone, a farlo esordire in Coppa Italia, contro il Milan (in uno 0-3, che vede in campo Van Basten, Rijkaard e Papin, ma non Gullit, costretto in panchina dalle regole di allora, che permettevano di scendere in campo, solo a tre dei quattro stranieri tesserati ed è sempre il grande “Sor Carletto” a lanciarlo anche in Serie A, in un Cagliari- Roma (vinto 1-0), mettendolo a marcare un certo Giuseppe Giannini, ex numero numero 10 della Nazionale azzurra… mica male per un esordiente.

  • FURTI INTER– 100 DI GRANDE ONESTA’ Timbro Bianconero
    FURTI INTER– 100 DI GRANDE ONESTA’ Timbro Bianconero 1. Furto del primo scudetto nel 1910 (Pro Vercelli costretta dall'Inter a giocare coi bambini, in un ineguagliato esempio di totale mancanza di sportività). Nel 1910 successe che la Federazione (casualmente...) scelse, in prima istanza, una data per la finale scudetto Pro Vercelli-Inter. Guarda caso in quella data tutta la squadra titolare della Pro Vercelli era già impegnata con la Nazionale Militare. La Pro Vercelli chiese quindi ovviamente lo spostamento della finale scudetto. La Federazione rispose che a loro andava bene se anche l'Inter avesse accettato. L'Inter, scandalosamente, RISPOSE DI NO e la Federazione non esitò a mantenere la data stabilita, del tutto inadeguata. La Pro Vercelli, giustamente indignata per questo gesto vergognoso, mandò in campo la 4^ squadra (i bambini di 11 anni!!!!). L'Inter vinse la partita 10-3 (riuscendo però a prendere 3 gol dai bambini!!) e vinse in questo modo il suo primo scudetto. Tra il primo e l'ultimo cambiano i metodi, non cambiano le furbate. 2. Salvezza(A TAVOLINO) comprata nel 1922, dopo una retrocessione sul campo; Nel 1922 l'Inter arriva ultima, meno punti di tutti, meno gol fatti e più gol subiti. A fine campionato si decide che invece di far salire le squadre che ne hanno diritto bisogna fare i play-out. Non basta. All'Inter viene data come avversario l'Alta Italia, squadra però già fallita da settimane, per cui vince gli scontri diretti a tavolino! 3. 1961 SCARSA SPORTIVITA’ Nel 1961 l’Inter protesta perchè la partita Juve-Inter viene fatta ripetere anzichè essere assegnata all’Inter a tavolino per sfondamento delle recinzioni del pubblico che stava troppo stretto e si era portato a bordo campo.

  • Vigilantism and Security
    Vigilantism and security: State, violence and politics in Italy and Hungary By Manuel Mireanu Submitted to Central European University Doctoral School of Political Science and International Relations In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisor: Dr. Xymena Kurowska Budapest, Hungary December, 2014 Statement I hereby declare that the thesis contains no materials accepted for other degrees in any other institutions. This thesis contains no materials previously written and/or published by another person, except where appropriate acknowledgement is made in the form of bibliographical reference. ii Abstract This thesis explores the relationship between the state and vigilante groups in two situations from Italy and Hungary. It asks the question of the possibility of successful security articulations that emerge from actors endowed with lower levels of social capital. Vigilantism is one such possible security practice. The practices of the vigilante groups that I look at cannot be fully captured if we focus on either state-centred security, or on socially dispersed security practices. Their practices are performed by agents with lower levels of securitising capital than state elites, but with sufficient legitimacy and capabilities to enact security successfully. These practices are not dispersed through ‘society’, but they are concentrated in groups and patrols with explicit programs, hierarchies and purposes.
