Roma seven beauties, Napoli and Juventus don't give up



Francesco sends a message to Prandelli. Juve and Napoli win again. Milan and Inter ko. Cassano rules Parma to the victory. Iturbe, the ace in the hole of H. Verona

Seven are the hills of Rome. Seven were the kings of the Eternal city. Seven are the deadly sins. And seven are the consecutive victories of Roma in these first seven Serie A matches. Rudi Garcia molded a perfect war machine. The Giallorossi don't want to stop now. They dance like valkiries on the bodies of the opposite teams. Inter of Walter Mazzarri were the last demolished victim. Pjanić, Strootman and De Rossi probably compose the best midfield in Italy. Gervinho and Florenzi seem sons of the wind. De Sanctis is insormountable.

Totti - who scored twice against Inter - grows day by day. He is a young 37 years old that would like to play again a World Cup. Brazil, the land of football, would welcome the best Italian scoring active player in Serie A. Mister Prandelli, what about Francesco? Meanwhile, Rome fans dream of an unprecedented season. In the next match, they want to listen to Symphony N. 8 but will have to deal with Rafa Benitez and his Napoli that won again.

Partenopei beat 4-0 a willing Livorno. Pandev, Inler, Callejón and Hamšík are day's heroes that make supporters smile. Benitez's team demonstrated again strength in a delicate phase. Napoli lost to Arsenal in last Champions League match, Higuaín was still unavailable and in last home match, Napoli drew with Sassuolo. This victory is a cure-all for the city and for the society in view of next match against Giallorossi. The Derby of the Sun smells of Scudetto.

Napoli share second position with Juventus that won against Milan (3-2). Muntari scored twice, for Juventus Pirlo, Giovinco and Chiellini. In a stormy week for Italian government, Antonio Conte spoke as a shaky First Minister. "The enemy wants to destabilize us", he said. Juventus aren't anymore the perfect clockwork we knew in the previous two seasons, but Bianconeri don't miss a shot.

After seven match-days, the table seems to reflect qualities and values of the entire Serie A.

Nobody can stop Roma. Napoli and Juventus suffer from Champions League matches but Scudetto looks their first aim, Inter reconquered self confidence. Hellas Verona (fifth position) are a competitive group, a good mix between experienced players and young talents. If Luca Toni is a tested striker, Iturbe started sending messages to Lionel Messi. He scored his second goal against Bologna and Verona won at Dall'Ara Stadium 4-1. Fiorentina and Lazio don't stand out, Milan are synonymous of an unmanageable and confused group. Udinese, Torino, Parma and Atalanta head towards a respectable season.



In lower positions, Catania, Sampdoria and Bologna freak their supporters.

Al Maradona, il ritorno degli scugnizzi

È la sera di venerdì 23 maggio 2025 quando allo Stadio Diego Armando Maradona di Napoli, nella curva B – quella raccontata da Nino D’Angelo a metà degli anni ’80 tra musica e film – appare una tela disegnata. Un drappo che si offre ad una schiera infinita di obiettivi che riverberano in tutto il mondo quell’immagine creata con l’intelligenza artificiale. Ancora qualche secondo e, dopo una lenta ed inesorabile dissolvenza di occhi e telecamere che sposta l’attenzione verso il centro del campo, l’attesa può avere fine. Il Napoli di Antonio Conte, emigrante salentino di ritorno al Sud, è finalmente pronto a scendere in campo contro il Cagliari in vista dell’ultima gara della stagione, decisiva per la vittoria del campionato. In quegli stessi istanti l’Inter, campione d’Italia in carica, tenta inutilmente di difendere il titolo della seconda stella nella manzoniana Como. I tifosi azzurri hanno deciso di accogliere così la squadra, con una narrazione visiva di sapore ottocentesco che vede a...

Giallorosso hurricane. Juve and Napoli do their duty. Lazio, in the name of Klose

Totti: "We have got balls!". Conte: "They are obscuring us". Perin looks like a young Buffon. Klose leaves his mark on Lazio's victory. Bologna and Livorno remember Morosini Roma are still the beautiful (and lucky) queen that are killing Serie A. Without Totti and Gervinho, the  Giallorossi win again. They did it suffering against a good Udinese that got back to lose at home after 22 matches. Luis Muriel , Colombian forward, was overwhelming but the  Giallorossi did nit concede any goal. They played in ten men for the entire second half  (red card for Maicon) and achieved the expected result with Michael Bradley, USA midfielder. Supporters crowded Fiumicino Airport. A sanguine Totti wrote on his website: "We have got balls!". Antonio Conte, Juventus coach, declared: " Giallorossi are obscuring Juve and Napoli too ". The  Partenopei and the  Bianconeri kept on doing their duty beating Torino and Genoa with the same r...

Lo sguardo di Giancarlo Siani. Un dialogo con Isaia Sales

In occasione del quarantennale dell’omicidio di Giancarlo Siani, per capire il contesto, le dinamiche sociali e criminali in cui Giancarlo si immergeva, abbiamo dialogato con lo storico Isaia Sales, tra i più importanti studiosi di camorra e crimine organizzato. Il 23 settembre del 1985 fa a Napoli veniva ucciso, a soli 26 anni, Giancarlo Siani, cronista abusivo de Il Mattino. In questi quarant’anni Siani è diventato il simbolo di un giornalismo, allo stesso tempo, precario, libero e coraggioso. A lui sono stati dedicati libri ( L’abusivo di Antonio Franchini, Scimmie di Alessandro Gallo, Un ragazzo normale di Lorenzo Marone), graphic novel ( Giancarlo Siani… e lui che mi sorride di Alessandro Di Virgilio ed Emilio Lecce), film ( E io ti seguo di Maurizio Fiume, Fortapàsc di Marco Risi).  Professor Sales, sono passati quarant’anni dall’omicidio di Giancarlo Siani. Cosa ricorda di quelle ore? Il fatto che si potesse ammazzare, a Napoli, un giovane cronista scatenò un sentimen...
