New: Words & images: Federico Farcomeni. Forget the big teams of Serie A, fans of ASD Fanfulla call themselves "lost causes". The team's been relegated to the Italian 5th tier. But the people of Lodi are still there, which counts for something. 📸 www.terraceedition.com/home-haute/l...

The team name comes from Giovanni Tito Alon aka Bartolomeo Fanfulla, a legendary warrior of the XVI century. It's a hard name to live up to but a strong fan culture endures at the Stadio Dossenina in Lodi.
