Calcio (football) reigns supreme in Italian sport. There are no other contenders. Indeed, some people have suggested that Italians engage in two impassioned acts of worship on Sundays: the first at the chiesa (church), and the second at the San Siro, Allianz or Stadio Olimpico, the revered temples of AC Milan, Juventus and AS Roma

Maybe most people wouldn’t think about football – or any sport – as tourism. But it is a day out much as someone might go to a museum, the beach or a shopping complex. It costs you money to enter just as a theatre or exhibition will but does it give value-for-money?

A couple of weeks ago you might have said how lucky those fans who went to watch the world cup were. You still might if you were a supporter of Brazil or New Zealand. If you support England or France or Italy or even Germany you might have other thoughts. The remainder of us seem to have settled for the television, the pub or the wide screen open events. What we did not settle for was going away on holiday at the same time.
Should this come as any surprise to anyone?
