Those radios often caused friction between couples, as men out for a walk were more taken by the broadcast than 0️⃣ by their female companion. At least the radios never physically kept anyone from their families; otherwise Sunday would be spent 0️⃣ at the stadium or at home in front of the television. Rita Pavone sang about it, scolding her companion for 0️⃣ preferring football and leaving her alone; Dino Risi painfully portrayed it in his episodic movie, The Monsters, where in the 0️⃣ episode What a Bad Life! , Vittorio Gassman plays a poor family man who spends what little he has to 0️⃣ go to the stadium; Alberto Sordi reiterated this in the memorable scenes of The Husband and I know That You 0️⃣ Know That I Know .
Church, lunch, and the game are the three pillars upon which the Italian Sunday was built. 0️⃣ Three clustered events spaced a few hours within each other: first duty, then necessity, and finally pleasure. Even if it 0️⃣ does seem excessive calling it a pleasure, for all the times an afternoon defeat made our baked pasta go down 0️⃣ the wrong way and along with it, the entire weekend.
At my parents’ house I discovered a drawer full of old 0️⃣ pocket radios. I then found an identical one when we emptied my grandmother’s house. I was reminded of them present 0️⃣ in family photos, with that unintentionally vintage design, often surrounded by an engrossed group of people of all ages, hands 0️⃣ cupped around their ears. I remembered afternoons in the mid-nineties when they were still used. As a child I used 0️⃣ to take them with me on Sunday outings for the same reason everyone else took them: to follow the ball 0️⃣ game.
The cult of the game does not have specific areas of competence, no typical geographical indication, like wine does, but 0️⃣ it has always brought people together within its single large leather sphere. From North to South, from the countryside to 0️⃣ the big cities, from the mountains to the sea. Those who could went to the stadium, up to the time 0️⃣ it was more comfortable to watch matches on TV. Lunch was at home, then down to the bar, until the 0️⃣ call of the family became too insistent to be ignored. At that point the pocket radio came in handy.
But like 0️⃣ all cultural symbols, fans have had to deal with the progression of the sport’s economic sector growing disproportionately in just 0️⃣ a few years. The first change was the match schedule: after more than half a century of Sunday afternoon starts, 0️⃣ the delay was born. It was the 1993 of great changes, with Italy in political turmoil and television rights becoming 0️⃣ a greater feature of the sport. It was the first upheaval of many. In February 2024 the first round of 0️⃣ the Series A schedule was split between Friday afternoon and Monday evening, with no match played at the same time. 0️⃣ For the older folks this was an outrage. Who knows what my grandparents would have said, used to arriving at 0️⃣ Sunday dinner knowing the rankings were already updated. Obviously it was no longer possible to follow games on the radio 0️⃣ minute by minute, as I did as a child. My parents were never big fans, but when we would go 0️⃣ on our Sunday outings in the car, we listened to the live broadcast on the radio, which started immediately after 0️⃣ the iconic theme song, A Taste of Honey, by Herb Albert & the Tijuana Brass. And when we went for 0️⃣ a walk, I had the trusty pocket radio with me. The excitement was palpable as the reports came from field 0️⃣ to field, the format used then by the Rai network for live football events. The reporter was often interrupted by 0️⃣ the jingle announcing a goal in another stadium. I clearly remember the sensation I felt seconds before the correspondent would 0️⃣ give updates on the match; moments when I hoped news would be about my favorite team but – careful! – 0️⃣ also in that moment the opposing team could have scored. I swayed on that swing between relief and disappointment each 0️⃣ time, every Sunday.
