This official C4 Football Italia website will be drawing on all the resources of the Calcio Italia magazine which itself has been going strong since 1992 when Serie A soccer first hit the British television screens. The magazine, published monthly in the UK, contains exclusive interviews with the star names, authoritative comment from experts around the peninsula, and in-depth reports given even more authority thanks to our tie-up with Italy's Eurocalcio magazine. There’s club news, transfer talk, European and international updates plus the most comprehensive results service around. You can get a flavour of what’s in store from the pages of past issues shown here.
