Calcio (soccer) is the most popular sport in Italy. The teams in Serie A (the top league) have competed for the scudetto (trophy) since 1898. Italians are wellknown for being soccer-crazy. Soccer is simply a part of life all over the Peninsula, with its own rigid customs and rituals, whether one plays the game or is simply a spectator or supporter. The greatest Italian players are known throughout the world. What foreigners are often not aware of is the Sunday afternoon rituals of the mondo del calcio , the soccer world. Those with an abbonamento (season ticket) go to the stadium almost every Sunday to support their favorite team. If one is out and about, one must at least carry a radio in order to follow the half-time and final results. On Sunday evening, soccer mania rules on all possible TV channels, but the same goes for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and sometimes Thursday evenings too. Every single game will be dissected and every detail examined and analyzed.

In many Italian cities, when people leave the office around 6:30 P.M. they make their way to a bar for an aperitivo (aperitif): aperol® , bellini® , pink gin , campari® , campari® and orange , negroni , or even just a tomato juice, accompanied by potato chips, peanuts, and olives. In recent years bars have competed to offer their customers ever more delicious and inventive aperitifs accompanied by snacks such as tartlets, mini pizzas, bruschette and crostini (toasted bread seasoned with oil and garlic or with various savory toppings), crudités and dips. In Padua, Treviso, and Venezia, on the other hand, the custom is to have a glass of wine known as an ombra . Ombra means "shadow" and it seems this custom derives its name from the fact that the wine was drunk in the shadow of the bell towers.
