Inno: Soccer Team Song

Each team in Italy has an official song, an inno, and the fans listen to it.  It's not like a university fight song; it's more like a pop song, almost. They listen to it in their cars driving around.  It's interesting.

Here's Milan's song:  "Milan, Milan"


While I'm an Interista, I'm not a fan musically of their inno, "C'è Solo Inter."  It sounds like a Michael Bolton song or background music for a Sports Utility Vehicle TV commercial.  Where are the hands swaying with lighters?  But in all earnestness, the inspiration of the song is cool.  Peppino Prisco was the Vice President of Inter from 1963-2001.  He was asked once about having served under 5 different Presidents of Inter.  His response was, "Well, I always sought to serve only Inter."  He loved his team.


Here's Naple's inno, "Napoli."
