Serie A gets underway later today with Hellas Verona opening the season against Roma, so I thought I'd get this thread started seeing as I'm a complete Italophile and intend to move there in the next 5 years or so.
I know little about the makeup of the teams but intend to learn more as the season progresses. My main team is Fiorentina - where I'll be visiting over Christmas and New Year and to where I hope to move - but will be keeping an eye on Hellas Verona because I'll be in the city in 3 weeks time and have noticed they have a home game against Torino. On checking the HV squad & I see Luca Toni is still going strong at the age of 37.
Two teams I've not heard anything about before - Frosinone & Carpi, who will both be in Serie A for the first time - so anyone with any first-hand info about them will be well received.
Week 1 Fixtures:
Saturday 22 Sept
Hellas Verona v Roma
Lazio v Bologna
Sunday 23 Sept
Juventus v Udinese
Frosinone v Torino
Empoli v Chievo
Palermo v Genoa
Sampdoria v Carpi
Fiorentina v Milan
Inter v Atalanta
Sassuolo v Napoli
Grazie!
