History of Serie A
The Serie A, know as Lega Nazionale Professionisti Serie A, started officially, as currently structured in 1929. Before, between 1898 and 1922, the competitions occurred in regional groups.
The title is known as ‘Scudetto’, which means ‘little shield’. Since 1924-1925, the champion has the right to stamp a little shield badge, with the colors of the Italian flag in their shirts, during the following season.
Why some Italian clubs have golden stars too?
In 1958, it was created the honor of the Golden Star of Sport Excellence (Stella d’Oro al Merito Sportivo), for the teams who have achieved many ‘Scudettos’.
This allows that a team, every time they get the amount of 10 league titles, may add a permanent star to their kits.
Curious enough, this suggestion was given by Umberto Agnelli, who was president of the Italian Football Federation and before the president of Juventus of Turin.
His nephew, Andrea Agnelli, is the current president of the Juventus club, who has long been in Agnelli’s family – also owners of the car brand FIAT.
Who is the Serie A team with more titles?
Juventus, who currently is the team with most titles in Italian Serie A history, with 35, received this honor 3 times. In 1958, in 1982 and in 2014. For that reason, they have 3 stars in their kits.
Meanwhile, Internazionale and AC Milan, both teams from the city of Milano, have 18 titles each. Thus, they have received the honor to wear a single star when they completed the tenth. Inter achieved this feat in 1966 and AC Milan in 1979.
Besides Juventus, Inter and AC Milan, there were other 13 teams to achieve the Scudetto.
Genoa (9), Torino, Bologna and Pro Vercelli (7), AS Roma (3), Lazio, Fiorentina and Napoli (2), Cagliari, Casale, Novese, Hellas Verona, Sampdoria (1).
Who is competing in the current edition of Serie A?
In the current edition of Serie A, 20 teams will compete in a championship that has two turns: one played away and one played at home.
Juventus are the current Scudetto champions and they will be defending the Serie A title, who they have reconquered for the 8th season in a row.
Lecce, Hellas Verona, and Brescia have been promoted and will compete also in Serie A, while Chievo, Benevento, and Frosinone have been relegated and will play in the Serie B.
