Hannah, a Visitor from Italian Soccer Serie A in Vienna, at the training of the Italian National Team
ItaliaFirst, I want to thank "HANNAH," one of our blog visitors in Vienna for sending us these photos during her visit to one of the training of the Italian National Team in Vienna during the UEFA EURO 2008.

Hannah, thanks so much and I appreciate your taking time to share your experience with all of us.
I am glad we were able to communicate during this EURO experience and that you found the information from the blog helpful. So nice knowing that our visitors in different part of the world love to read my blog Italian Soccer Serie A to follow your soccer passion for our Italian Serie A and the Italian National team. That's the whole idea to become "an Italian Soccer Serie A Internet family" to talk as fans about our favorite teams, players and the ones we don't like. It's all about keeping the ball rolling....

Anna Italia to Hannah: Girl this photo of MY DEL PIEROOOOOO, Hello, you were so close to my untouchable. Oh well, and Materazzi your favorite player. LOL. I love Materazzi only when he plays for the Italian National team.
I would have fainted watching DEL PIEROOOOOOOOOOO.. how about Saint Goalkeeper Gigi Buffon. Did you see him?????
And my Rossoneri Gattuso, Pirlo, Zambrotta, Ambrosini? Wow, and the Roman gladiators De Rossi, Aquilani, PERROTTA, Panucci.

Anna,notice how Cassano is in one of the pictures! I really wished I was there.
I'm seriously considering going to Italy when the season starts.

Nina, are we talking about our "piggy banks?" I thought those were for Maldini's farewell LOL.
I am trying to see if I can relocate too. Though need to find a job there first unless GALLIANI offers me a contract.

Anna, I torn between waiting till almost the end of the season to attend Maldini's farewell or to go when the season starts.Most likely I will go sometime around May or late April.
Hannah,Nice picture and thanks for the link.
Anna, How far is Genoa from Milan?
