FIVE FACTS ABOUT US SASSUOLO
1. The club has gradually moved up through the divisions, reaching Serie D in 1968, Serie C2 in 1984, Serie C1 in 2006, Serie B in 2008 and finally Serie A in 2013.
2. It was Massimiliano Allegri who took Sassuolo to Serie B early on in his coaching career before his Juventus days.
3. Sassuolo’s true home stadium is the Enzo Ricci, but due to its capacity of just 4,000, the club had to share a ground with Modena in Serie B and now does so with Reggiana in Serie A.
4. The Serie A ground in Reggio Emilia bears the name of Sassuolo’s owners, the chemical company Mapei. You may remember their successful ’90s pro cycling team.
5. Sassuolo’s biggest rivals are Carpi and, more recently, Modena. Today, they are far far ahead of both on the pitch.
FIVE FACTS ABOUT SASSUOLO
1. The name of the city is thought to have come from its plentiful petroleum (stone (sasso) oil (olio)) deposits.
2. Sassuolo is the tile capital of Italy; it produces 80% of the nation’s ceramics.
3. It is also known for its production of “tiramolla” (a holy dessert) and “sassolino” (an aniseed liqueur).
4. Fabrizio Giovanardi, the most successful touring car racer in history, hails from Sassuolo.
5. The elaborate Ducal Palace gardens contain a huge “fish-tank” surrounded by a mini amphitheatre.
