SPORT
Italians are known for their love of football (to give you some idea of the scale, 26 million Italians call themselves football fans!), but many also follow cycling, basketball and motorsport, to name but a few popular sports. This section balances some of the less publicised sports alongside the well-known ones, to give you an idea of the range of sport in Italy. In this edition you will be able to
discover more about surfing in Italy, the importance of basketball to Italians and the media-magnet that is Liverpool FC player Mario Balotelli.
Happy reading!
