About Us

Welcome to Calcio Square, a free and independent email newsletter dedicated exclusively to Serie A and Italian football. Every Monday throughout the season, Anthony Lopopolo, a digital media professional who's watched Serie A closely for 20 years, will hit your inbox with a thoughtful essay on the players and people who make the league compelling viewing week in, week out.

On Thursdays, premium subscribers can expect a weekly review of classic football matches from the 1960s to the 2000s. We'll treat them as if we're watching them for the first time, go through the wonderful throwback players in each lineup, contextualize the significance of each game, and pinpoint the most important moments.

Then, every other Sunday, premium subscribers can look forward to high-quality long-form features, including retrospectives, deep dives and analysis, and interesting player and club perspectives. Read with your Sunday morning espresso in hand and Serie A playing in the background.

By signing up, you'll also have the chance to write in and request coverage of the stories, teams, and players that mean most to you.

Commitment to you

Our mission is simple: to create a community of Serie A fans who not only want to know more about their favorite league but have something to share themselves. Calcio Square is a reader-supported newsletter and is only as strong as its subscribers. Help us spread the word of calcio.
