Italian football has always been mostly a North West Italy affair. Italian oldest clubs are northwestern: Genoa CFC (1893), Juventus FC (1897), AC Milan (1899), with the exception of north-eastern Udinese (1898).

Just a few club could compete with north-western clubs, such as the two romans (Lazio and Roma), Napoli, Bologna and Fiorentina, but they never reached NW success. North-western football clubs that have won trophies are

There is a much less popular team, especially abroad, called Pro Vercelli that is among the oldest clubs still active in Italy, and is now in Serie B (the second league of the italian football). They were a football superpower in the early days of italian football, then decayed.

CITY OF VERCELLI (PIEDMONT)
PRO VERCELLI

Which north-western Italy clubs do you know? And which do you like the most, or even support?
