Sicily derby - Rivalries around the world
A divide goes back to ancient times from the ancient Greeks and Carthage. Sicily you can easily divide East vs. The West. This is one of the electrifying matches between the cities of Catania and Palermo. A long standing rivalry since the 1930s. This is the clash between The Rosanero of SSD Palermo and the Blu Rosso of Calcio Catania.
My apologies for my heavy Dutch accent :-).

STORYLINE:
Italian Serie A football games resumed on Sunday, more than a week after they were suspended following the death of a policeman during riots at a match in Sicily on February 2nd.
The death of 38-year-old policeman Filippo Raciti prompted the soccer federation to immediately halt all games.
The government approved severe measures, including banning fans from attending matches in 25 of Italy's stadiums that were deemed unsafe.
Rome's Olympic stadium was one stadium in line with the new measures and was able to host Sunday's match between AC Roma and AC Parma.
Other requirements include closed circuit surveillance cameras and turnstiles at the entrance of stadiums with more than a 10,000-spectator capacity.
"Let's hope (these measures) are useful because it's absurd that people coming to work at the stadium die like this, it's really disgusting and let's hope that all this is useful and mentality changes because we cannot go on like this," said one AC Roma fan on Sunday.
A Irish tourist said she was "disappointed" to hear about the February 2nd violence.
"We are just the ordinary supporters of football and we wanted to make that point very clear, so we'd like to be able to come to the match today," she added.
At least 38 people, including 15 minors, have been arrested following the disturbances which broke out during the match between Catania and Palermo.
About 100 people were injured as fans clashed with police.
The new measures approved by the Cabinet on Wednesday also ban clubs from selling blocks of tickets to visiting fans and allows authorities to bar suspected hooligans from entering stadiums, even if they have not been convicted of crimes.
Other measures ban clubs from having economic ties with fan groups and increase maximum prison terms for violence against police from five to 15 years.
The measures must be approved by Parliament within 60 days to remain in effect.

STORYLINE
Italians reacted on Saturday to last night's clashes in which a police officer was killed and another critically injured after fans rioted at a football game between two Sicilian teams.
"We are in the hands of vandals and killers, because we are actually talking about killers, it's not worth following it anymore,'' said Rome resident Roberto.
Fans began rioting outside Catania's Angelo Massimino stadium during the second half of the home side's match with Palermo.
Local television footage showed fans throwing missiles at lines of riot police who responded with tear gas which wafted into the stadium, forcing the match to be temporarily suspended in the 58th minute with Palermo leading 1-0.
The violence continued after the game, in which Palermo beat Catania 2-1, trapping hundreds of fans inside the stadium as authorities sought to avoid further violence and stop people from leaving.
The clashes prompted the Italian football federation to suspend all football matches this weekend.
Giovanni Lolli, the Italian Deputy Minister for Sports said that a meeting would be held to discuss further measures.
"There will be an emergency government meeting on Monday to decide restrictive and punitive measures. It was necessary to make this decision because this is not the first time that such things have happened."
Many agreed with the decision to suspend the football matches.
"If they suspended football matches I would personally be pleased.'' said rugby supporter Giovanni Ghelfi.

STORYLINE
Italy's sports and interior ministers met on Monday with with top soccer and sports administrators to discuss long-term measures to curb violence in football stadiums after a policeman was killed when fans rioted at a match in Catania, Sicily on Friday.
The Italian soccer federation postponed all games over the weekend following rioting at a Serie A Catania-Palermo match that resulted in the death of 38-year-old Chief Inspector Filippo Raciti.
The federation also cancelled Wednesday's friendly between Italy and Romania, and has threatened to extend the game suspension.
Earlier on Monday, Interior Ministers Giuliano Amato and Sports Minister Giovanna Melandri flew to Catania to attend the funeral of Raciti, before returning to Rome for the talks at the prime minister's office, also involving Italian Olympic Committee President Gianni Petrucci, football federation commissioner Luca Pancalli and police chief Gianni De Gennaro.
According to Italian news reports, measures that are being considered include barring organised groups of fans from following their teams at away games, stiffening penalties and limiting the number of fans allowed in stadiums whose security measures are considered lax.
Officials are also considering extending the suspension of league play to next weekend, reports said.
Amato has said that the violence must stop, or the games will.
But the economic impact of not allowing a quick return to play could be huge.
AC Milan and Juventus are the third and fourth biggest clubs in the world by revenue according to accounting firm Deloitte.
During the 2004-05 season, along with rival powerhouses Inter Milan and AS Roma, the clubs generated more than 770 (m) million euro (1 (b) billion US dollars) through match-day receipts, broadcasting deals, sponsorship, and merchandising.
And the Italian government itself has a vested interest in soccer.
Agipronews, a news agency specialising in the betting market, estimates that the government receives 3.1 (m) million euro (4 (m) million US dollars) in tax revenues from legal betting each weekend from soccer in Italy's top three divisions.

The Italian soccer federation postponed all games over the weekend following rioting at a Serie A Catania-Palermo match that resulted in the death of 38-year-old Chief Inspector Filippo Raciti.
The federation also cancelled Wednesday's friendly between Italy and Romania, and has threatened to extend the game suspension.
Earlier on Monday, Interior Ministers Giuliano Amato and Sports Minister Giovanna Melandri flew to Catania to attend the funeral of Raciti, before returning to Rome for the talks at the prime minister's office, also involving Italian Olympic Committee President Gianni Petrucci, football federation commissioner Luca Pancalli and police chief Gianni De Gennaro.
According to Italian news reports, measures that are being considered include barring organised groups of fans from following their teams at away games, stiffening penalties and limiting the number of fans allowed in stadiums whose security measures are considered lax.
Officials are also considering extending the suspension of league play to next weekend, reports said.
Amato has said that the violence must stop, or the games will.
But the economic impact of not allowing a quick return to play could be huge.
AC Milan and Juventus are the third and fourth biggest clubs in the world by revenue according to accounting firm Deloitte.
During the 2004-05 season, along with rival powerhouses Inter Milan and AS Roma, the clubs generated more than 770 (m) million euro (1 (b) billion US dollars) through match-day receipts, broadcasting deals, sponsorship, and merchandising.
And the Italian government itself has a vested interest in soccer.
Agipronews, a news agency specialising in the betting market, estimates that the government receives 3.1 (m) million euro (4 (m) million US dollars) in tax revenues from legal betting each weekend from soccer in Italy's top three divisions.

3. SOUNDBITE: (Italian) Aldo Spinelli, President of Livorno football club:
"It (playing matches behind closed doors) would be a slap in the face of Italian football as a whole. We are saddened by the death of this man (police officer Filippo Raciti), but I believe that if we carefully analyse the incident, we would realise that there were no clashes between the two groups (Catania and Palermo) of fans."

5. SOUNDBITE: (Italian) Claudio Lotito, President of Lazio football club:
"I hope our politicians and the government understood there is a need to clarify what happened, and that sometimes they need to forget to try and please voters and worry instead about enforcing the law."
6. Cutaway of media
7. SOUNDBITE: (Italian) Claudio Lotito, President of Lazio football club:
"There is a kind of demonisation of the world of soccer, which is wrong, because to criminalise the whole system is wrong."
8. Sports journalists inside hotel
9. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Maurizio Zamparini, President of Palermo football club:
"This measure of closing the doors, we consider it demagogic, we believe we can assure the government that even if there won't be 'closed doors', stadiums will be safe, particularly because there won't be visiting fans."
8. Various of journalists
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Alvaro Moretti, Journalist for Italian sport newspaper 'Tutto Sport':
"The managers of the clubs involved are to decide in which ways to start again the championship because the stop for one week that is probably the measure that the Italian government put to stop the violence, the first of the measures, will give them a big problem to solve, to find a way to start again and which day they have to start and what games. They are checking which are the stadiums that are allowed under the new measures of the government that has enough security."
10. Sign reading in Italian "Football league meeting"
11. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Antonio Pulvirenti, President of Catania football club:
"We agree with the government's line, because it is obvious that we cannot go on like this. We are presenting constructive proposals, in line with what the government said and even with harder measures so we are on the same wavelength. We need to better understand the issue of the closing of the stadiums, but generally speaking we agree to keep a hardline because let's remember that we are the first victims of all this, and also the clubs and the honest fans who love this sport, so it's clear that we agree."
