Few would have imagined that a song remastered by English pop duo Pet Shop Boys would become such a huge hit at a Southern Italian club – even more surprising when you consider that the track was originally performed by the polarizing American band Village People.Īnd yet, “Go West” became a symbol of the club’s revival in the 2000s, as whenever the song starts at the Maradona Stadium and we hear the sounds of waves and seagulls, we can only imagine the likes of Marek Hamsik, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Edinson Cavani coming out of the tunnel to lead the Partenopei in their quests for glory. Therefore, we picked Velia’s touching version in the below video. Over the years, the capital side has made use of some of the best songs heard in Serie A, including their official hymn Vola Lazio and Lucio Battisti’s all-time classic I giardini di marzo, but Aldo Donati’s hit So’ già du ore (“It’s two hours already”) is arguably the most memorable.Ī few weeks after the singer’s death, his wife Velia performed the song at the Olimpico stadium in front of the Biancocelesti supporters, in what could only be described as an incredibly emotional tribute to her late husband. Therefore, an old-style track would be expected to rhyme with the Grifone’s rich and antique history, and their anthem doesn’t disappoint in this regard, providing a cheerful folkGiardinine that surely lifts the mood inside the Luigi Ferraris stadium.

This track – whose title means “But the sky is always bluer” – was composed by famous Italian songwriter Rino Gaetano who was born in Crotone.
The Calabrian club spent the past decade between promotions to Serie A and relegations to Serie B, but their presence delighted us with one of the most special songs in Italian football. Nonetheless, any calcio fan who hears this anthem will immediately get flashes of the glamorous nights at San Siro, with the stars present on and off the field, and the Curva Sud waving their oversized flags and banners.īased on great memories alone, this one should be mentioned amongst the best Serie A songs.Ĩ- Crotone (Ma il cielo è sempre più blu)Īnother entry that is based on its originality. Speaking of Milan’s official anthem, its music could be a little bland, and the lyrics are more or less cliché that could be applied to any other club – which is a shame, as the Rossoneri possess a truly unique history.
