About Calcio Society

By Andrea Locorotondo, Editor, Calcio Society

Calcio Society provides independent, English-language coverage of Italian football.

Serie A, the Azzurri and the stories that make calcio the most compelling football on earth.Most English coverage of Serie A stops at transfer gossip and injury news.

We're building something different: a home for the interviews, features, tactical analysis and nostalgia that Italian football deserves, written for fans who want depth, not clickbait.

It's fronted by me, Andrea Locorotondo, on a simple idea: the best football writing comes from people who genuinely love the game, and that fans will back coverage they trust.

Thanks for being part of it.
