Sulle tracce del trionfo italiano nella pesistica alle Olimpiadi di Parigi 1924

Gherardo Bonini — Mon, 10 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Weightlifting emerged in Italy during the late 19th century, particularly within the industrial triangle of Turin, Genoa and Milan.On an international level, the sport’s debut occurred at the 1896 Olympic Games in Athens and the 1904 St. Louis Games, in addition to the 1906 Athens ‘Intermediate Games,’ which featured exercises rooted in the French method. Central European countries practised a divergent method, which would soon become known as the continental method. The two methods remained at odds with one another, failing to reach a compromise, until the outbreak of the First World War. However, the 1916 Berlin Olympics had the potential to alter the course of history. Central European lifters had increasingly adopted the French method, and while the opposition remained on the two-handed jerk, a compromise was theoretically reached for Berlin, leaving the athlete free to choose the preferred way of performing the jerk. The Italian contingent, under the patronage of Marquis Monticelli Obizzi, had become versed in both methods, though the French one had gained the upper hand. Following the First World War, and with Austria and Germany excluded from active participation, France proceeded to impose its own method. Later on, it established an international governing body (FIH) at the 1920 Antwerp Olympics, where Italy achieved a noteworthy result. During the four-year Olympic period leading up to Paris 1924, a contentious relationship emerged between the countries that had been excluded from the Olympics and France. France administered the FIH with rigidity, and any attempt to overturn this top-down management was fruitless. Italy, already grappling with a difficult political life and ruled by fascism since 1922, adopted a low profile, avoiding any compromise, partially obtaining recognition for its records and preparing for an unexpected triumph in Paris 1924 thanks to Gabetti, Galimberti and Tonani. The history of this fruitful course has been reconstructed, however, avoiding the track of the official book of the IWF (heir of the FIH), Il passato perduto (The Lost Past), as it omits some important historical issues and is marred by interpretations that are erroneous, incomplete and not adherent to the real connections of the true facts

Although cultural relations among the countries belonging to the two blocs diminished considerably during the initial phase of the Cold War, they did not reach a complete impasse. The present study aims to emphasise the continuity of Hungarian-Italian sport relations until their substantial renewal in 1953 through an analysis of the bilateral relationship.

Intellettuali e pugilato in Italia

Sergio Giuntini — Mon, 10 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The relationship between intellectuals and boxing has been always very strong in Italy. From Guido Gozzano to the Futurist movement and Fascist culture, many intellectuals and phenomena recognised many of the vitalist values and symbols of boxing. After the Second World War, the left-wing intelligentsia also began approach boxing, from Pier Paolo Pasolini to Luciano Bianciardi, who engaged in polemical quarrels with the boxer Nino Benvenuti, known for his ties to the neo-fascist right.

Immigrate (spesso) di lusso

Francesca Tacchi — Mon, 10 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The article analyses the changing fortunes of foreign women footballers who moved to Italy between 1968 and 1986, i.e. the period between the organisation of the first Italian women’s football championship by the Federazione Italiana Calcio Femminile and the co-optation of the Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio Femminile (name adopted in 1975, after various vicissitudes) into the Federazione Italiana Gioco Calcio, after its recognition in an amateur framework, which was maintained until 2022, when Italian women’s football (A and B series) became professional. In the 1970s, the Italian championship was a much-desired destination for foreign (mainly European) women’s footballers because of its “de facto professionalism”, which guaranteed significant profit margins, even in a panorama marked by the economic crisis that severely affected women’s football system. The dynamics of this ‘immigration’ is traced in its quantitative and qualitative dimensions, using a variety of sources (archival, oral) and, in particular, sports press, which devoted considerable attention to women’s football.

La storia dello sport e le altre storie

Stefano Pivato — Mon, 10 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The history of sport in Italy has developed considerably in the last few years. And yet, whenever a historian is called upon to comment on the subject, the first thing he or she does is to preface it by pointing out that Italy is lagging behind. A delay that is also the result of the scant attention paid to the reflections that other disciplines have made on the subject.

La carta, il cuoio e l’acciaio

The dissolution of the Soviet Union was an event that had a profound impact on all areas, from politics to the economy, culture and, of course, sport. La Gazzetta dello Sport paid particular attention to the last moments of the Soviet Union’s life, which were important because they could have an impact on certain sporting events that were to take place shortly afterwards, but also because of what the USSR had represented in terms of sport.
