A city crazy for its calcio.
In the latest edition of My Town, My Team, Napoli fan Alex told us why everybody should visit Naples at least once.
As we edge towards spring, winter lingers in the north, but warm weather emerges in the south, making it a great time to experience Italy.
Venezia and Palermo feature three times each across the next four rounds after the latest live matches on DCTV were announced.
After the final whistle is blown at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, there is no better place to unwind than Bellagio.
LโOra Della Pasta is not one of the glossy lakefront spots that trade on the view; it is smaller, simpler and infinitely more real.
We get a local take on what's hot in Cremona - where to eat and drink, sights to see and handy hints that might not be in the tourist guides.
Nowhere is nostalgia more dominant than in the beautiful game and here we go back to the golden age of Serie A.
We caught up with Palermo's Finnish striker Joel Pohjanpalo at the Serie B club's training ground. And he had plenty to say.
In most parts of the footballing world, contracts are signed in boardrooms. In Naples they do things a little differently. They sign them in restaurants. Well, one in particular to be exact.ย
The international break is in full swing so what better time to get into the important business of ranking the kits gracing the Italian top flight in 2025-26.
The South African tells Destination Calcio about rubbing shoulders with his heroes and what made him fall in love with Italy.
As Josh Doig clinched promotion back to Serie A with Sassuolo, his dad Tommy gave Destination Calcio the insight into his Italian journey.
I can still feel the rush of adrenaline bubbling in my chest when I stepped into the roaring belly of the San Siro for the first time.
โWhen you come here, you can feel a different energy.โ

Donโt miss out, as @destination.calcio and @alextione take you inside one of the most iconic football cities on the planet. โฝ๏ธ๐
Trattoria Squeri is special for so many reasons. โค๏ธ
First and foremost itโs a favourite of the legendary Carlo Ancelotti. Thatโs reason enough for us. Beyond that itโs a business that has been in the same family for four generations. And the food is exquisite.
Itโs about 30 minutes outside of Parma though. If youโre not renting a car, an uber can set you back โฌ80 so you might want to negotiate with a Parma taxi company! Trust us, you wonโt regret it. ๐ซต
Finally, for those of you wondering, here are some important translations from the menu:
The spalla cotta calda is cooked pork shoulder served hot. Ancelottiโs favourite.
The tris, or trio, of tortellini includes three types of pasta filling based on the season.
Tagliata di cavallo is horse meat. This may not be for everyone and has an earthier taste than what you might be used, while the punta al forno is another pork cut - ย also delicious and a dish Carlo liked to order on his visits to Squeri. ๐ค

Spend a day in Bergamo with Destination Calcio. โฝ๏ธ๐
Starting with a coffee, of course.
This day includes good food, nice walks and a fantastic football experience watching Atalanta. ๐ค
It also includes a visit to the Trattoria da Giuliana restaurant. Itโs an institution that bleeds black and blue and was a favourite of Gian Piero Gasperini. ๐
However some of the best things in Bergamo are free. The view from the city walls. The passion of this town for its club. The way the sunset hits at Porta San Giacomo.
Plan a day in Bergamo like this one and let us know if you enjoy. โ๏ธ๐ฎ๐น
