The distribution of the 20 clubs in Serie A is extremely uneven, most of them are in the northern or central region of Italy, and there are very few top league teams in the south.
Depending on the geographical location of Serie A teams, we can divide them into three geographical areas: the strongest is the area north of the Po River, where there are 8 teams with high quantity and quality; followed by the northern region of the Apennine Peninsula, with 7 teams, although the number is not large, but there are not many strong teams; the third is Rome and the south, there are only 5 teams, but there are 3 stronger teams, and Napoli is still the top team.
Since the Battle of Milan and Inter Milan will be held today, milan is the largest city in the Po River Basin, so we will first discuss the area north of the Po River, and the remaining two areas we will analyze in two additional periods.
Originating in the Cortian Mountains in the Western Alps at the junction of France and Italy, the Po River flows into the Adriatic Sea in the area south of Venice, with a total length of about 652 kilometers and a maximum width of about 500 meters, making it the longest river in Italy. The Po River Basin is home to more than 16 million people, accounting for about one-third of the whole of Italy, of which the valley plains in the middle of the Po River are the most important agricultural production areas and industrial bases in Italy. Industrial cities such as Turin and Milan, both located in the highlands of Hebei, rely on hydroelectric power stations on the Po River and fossil energy power stations that use the water of the Po River as a coolant for power and modern production. It should be noted that the area north of the Po River does not belong to the Apennine Peninsula, which also means that the three teams with the most wins in Serie A – Juventus, Inter Milan and ac Milan – are all not on the peninsula.
From west to east, the Po River passes through the four regions of Piedmont, Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna and Veneto, which are the most senior administrative divisions in Italy, with a total of 20 regions in Italy. Although Emilia-Romagna belongs to northern Italy, its jurisdiction is basically south of the Po River, and the metropolitan city of Turin, the capital of the Piedmont region, is the first largest city through which the Po River flows. The metropolitan city is the second level of administrative district in Italy, lower than the region, higher than the municipality, and the same level as the province, consisting of a large core city and a number of surrounding small towns, italy currently has a total of 14 metropolitan cities.
Turin has a special significance in the Italian Revival movement, Italy was in the nineteenth century in the Kingdom of Sardinia dominated by the kingdom of Sardinia to complete the unification of the country, the territory of the early Sardinian Kingdom mainly has two parts, one part is Sardinia in the Mediterranean, the other part is Piedmont in northwestern Italy, and Turin is the actual capital of the Kingdom of Sardinia, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia, Count Cavour, was also born in Turin, which is very critical, because it is difficult for the regime on the small island to bear the historical responsibility of national rejuvenation.
Turin has two Serie A clubs – Juventus in the north of the city and Turin in the south of the city.
Juve's Allianz Stadium was built on the site of the previous Del Alpin Stadium, one of a series of stadiums named by insurance giant Allianz. Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, Nice in Ligue 1, Vienna In Austria and Minnesota United in major leagues in the United States are also called Allianz Arena.
During the construction of the Allianz Stadium, Juventus and the same city derby rival Turin Football Club jointly used the Olympic Stadium as the home stadium to complete the game.
The Turin Olympic Stadium has a long history, was built in 1932, and was the venue for the 1934 World Cup, the 1980 European Championship, and the opening and closing venues of the 2006 Winter Olympic Games. Interestingly, most of the stadiums are renovated and remodeled to become larger, but the Turin Olympic Stadium is getting smaller and smaller, although it was once the main Olympic stadium, but currently can only accommodate more than 20,000 people to watch the game at the same time. Torino FC has not been good and has struggled on the brink of relegation for the last two seasons.
To the east of Piedmont is the Lombardy region, where there are 3 Serie A clubs, including two in the city of Milan and one in the province of Bergamo, which are very close to each other, only more than 40 kilometers, that is, Shanghai to Kunshan.
Milan is the second largest city in Italy after Rome in terms of population; economically, the Milan Metropolitan Area is the most developed region in Italy, with a GDP of more than 210 billion euros in 2018, accounting for one-eighth of the whole of Italy, and ranks third in the entire European Union, behind Paris and Madrid, higher than berlin.
Milan was an important city during the Roman Empire, first as the capital of the Western Emperor (Augustus) during the "Four Emperors" period, and later as the capital of the early Western Roman Empire.
Milan formed a Lombard alliance with most northern Italian cities in the Middle Ages to counter the invasion of the Holy Roman Empire, but in 1162 Frederick I the "Red Beard" still conquered Milan, but in the real-time strategy game Age of Empires 2 it was changed to summon milan cathedral, although in fact much more brutal.
During the Renaissance, Milan was ruled by the Sforza family, who was originally a mercenary leader, and the Battle of Sforza in Age of Empires 2 reproduced his cunning and courage.
The castle and the Duomo of Milan left by the Sforza family gradually became the city center of Milan, and the Meazza Stadium, which is used by ac Milan and Inter Milan, is located in the northwest of the city, not too far from the city center. The Milan duo have been very strong this season, currently finishing second and third in the Serie A table, but two clubs that are so good still need to share the stadium, which is very demanding on the quality of the turf and daily maintenance of the stadium.
Some friends may correct me by saying that this stadium should be called San Siro, and to avoid controversy, I went to the official website of Serie A (legaseriea.it) to verify, in the team profile, ac Milan and Inter Milan's home stadium are labeled stadio giuseppe meazza, so I also use this naming method.
Giuseppe Meazza is a well-known Italian athlete who has played at both Ac Milan and Inter Milan, but has a long career at Inter Milan and has also been a coach at Inter Milan, and his first coach is Atalanta.
The Name of the Club of Atlanta comes from atalanta in Greek mythology, a goddess who excelled in hunting. The city of Bergamo in the province of Bergamo, where the club is located, is close to Switzerland, tens of kilometers north of the Alps, and because it is in the far north of Italy, it has been occupied by France and austria-Hungary in modern times, and did not belong to the Kingdom of Sardinia until 1859, and subsequently became part of the newly established Kingdom of Italy.
Like Manhattan, New York, and Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China, the city of Bergamo is divided into upper and lower districts. The difference is that Bergamo's Upper Town is dominated by ancient buildings, and the Lower City is separated by the walls built during the Venetian Republic, and Atlanta's home field is in the north of the Lower Town, and it is not far from the Upper Town, after all, Bergamo is only a small city with a population of only 100,000.
Further east of the province of Bergamo is the Veneto region, home to two Serie A clubs.
FC Heras Verona is located in verona, in the province of Verona, which has the third largest amphitheatre in the world, so the design of the club's home stadium, the Bentegoti Stadium, was inspired by the shape of the amphitheater.
The famous British writer Shakespeare has two works based on Verona as the background of the story, one is the less well-known comedy "The Second Gentleman of Verona", and the other is the masterpiece tragedy "Romeo and Juliet". Verona still has juliet's house, although Juliet's archetype may not have lived here, the balcony of the former house was later expanded, it is still a popular destination for couples to travel, you can also hold weddings, call +39 333 2199 645, you can book.
The Venetian Football Club in the eastern veneto region is located on the island of Santa Elena in the eastern part of the venetian city, just outside the stadium and the calm and pleasant venetian lagoon.
Nestled on more than a hundred small islands connected by bridges, the city of Venice gave birth to the Republic of Venice, which dominated the Mediterranean in the Middle Ages and early Renaissance, a republic centered on navigation and finance, both the glorious moments of participation in the Holy League and the decisive victory at the Battle of Lepanto, as well as the historical stain of instigating the Crusaders to attack Constantinople.
Like Verona, Venice is also the scene of two of Shakespeare's works, the comedy The Merchant of Venice, which was selected for the middle school language textbook, and Othello, one of the four tragedies.
In the northern part of the Veneto region, Friuli-Venezia Giulia has the highest Italian Serie A club, Udinese, which is located in the central administrative region of Friuli, which is very close to the national border, only forty kilometers away from Slovenia, similar to Shanghai Pudong to Qingpu, where the Italian minority - Friuli people live.
This medium-sized city in northeastern Italy, during World War I, served as the seat of the Italian high command and was known as the "capital of war", but due to the weak fighting power of the Italian army, Udine was occupied by the German and Austro-Hungarians.
Udinese' home stadium, the Friuli Stadium, is located in the northwest of the city and is also known as the Dacian Arena because of the sponsor Dacia cars.
With regard to the geographical distribution of the 8 Serie A clubs north of the Po River in Italy, we will now introduce them, and in the next issue we will focus on the 7 top league clubs in the northern Apennine Peninsula.
