Description

Italy 1990 is synonymous with “Notti Magiche” and an adventure that, although not crowned by the final victory, set the hearts of millions of Italians alight. Italy hosted the 1990 World Cup, an event that the entire country was eagerly awaiting. The national team, led by Azeglio Vicini, had a roster of talented players and a mix of experience and youth. Italy dominated its group, winning all three matches against Austria, the United States and Czechoslovakia. After overcoming Uruguay in the round of 16 and Ireland in the quarterfinals, it came to the semi-final against Maradona’s Argentina. The match, played at the San Paolo in Naples, ended on penalties with the Argentinians winning. Italy then took third place by beating England in the consolation final. Despite losing in the semi-final, Italy 1990 left an indelible mark on the collective memory. The “Notti Magiche”, accompanied by the notes of “Un’estate italiana”, have become a symbol of that period. Italy has shown to have a competitive team and a spectacular game, capable of exciting and involving the public.
