Italian sport comes immediately after food. Italians love sport, they like doing sport but they prefer watching it! What is Italians favorite one? Football! Italian CALCIO…

Football was born in England and came to Italy in the late 1800 but it immediately had a wide success. In few years many of the most famous football clubs were set up such as Juventus (1898, black and white t-shirt) and Internazionale Milan (1908, blue and black t-shirt), usually known as Inter.

Italian football teams and players are among the most famous and excellent of the world. Everybody knows at least something about Italian football and about Italian successes (many times Italian teams won Champions Leagues and recently, in 2006, the National Italy football team won the World Cup).

But football is not the only one: Italy excels for skiing, swimming and many others. Italians are simply keen on sports.
When you are keen on something it is easier to be interested in what goes around it. For those who love sport, boning up on Italian language could be a funny way to train your tongue!
