With Serie A poised to resume, your Viola Station hosts discuss what's changed under Rocco in his first year, some mercato wonkiness, and the midfielders contracted to the club. Next up, it's a brilliant conversation with Alessandro Sisto, president of Viola Club New York, and longtime VCNY member Dr. Massimo Balestri. Along the way, you'll get all sorts of extras like a recipe for a cocktail named after Kurt Hamrin (tastes like the good cough syrup your parents used to give you), evidence that Mike may need to step away from Fiorentina occasionally, and what would be a great AM radio morning show with Alessandro and Doc Massimo. Give us some stars if we're good, and don't if we're not. Forza Viola!
