The Football Wars, life and death inside Italy's Ultras
On October 29th 2022, a Saturday night football match between Inter Milan and Sampdoria was underway at Milano’s famed San Siro Stadium.
The match began in the full stadium, and as usual the Curva Nord, the seating located behind the goal, was the rowdiest place to be. Here in the Curva, the hardcore fans known as the Ultras reigned with their chants, banners and fireworks. Something was happening that night, some news or rumor was spreading throughout the stadium amongst the most diehard loyal Ultra fans.
The news they had received that night, the leader and boss of their Ultra organization, had been gunned down in an ambush 3 miles from the stadium shortly before the start of the game.
Vittorio Boiocchi had been killed.
