Which was the most important for the play formalisation and the codification. Gym teachers translated the English books and supplied the rules, which were spread in Italy, at least up to the First World War.

They went on winning scudettos and national cups in the ranks of Federcalcio. The article talks about the gym ventures of the European Champions in charge.
