Yes this seems to be part of it:I think Fiorentina and Juve have previous, certainly on the Fiorentina side.
Baggio (not Fulton ) transfer and a last day title decider stick in the mind if I remember correctly.
I kept Gerrard out it so we didn’t get the usual replies of him being a rat I don’t think he is he came done his job which we’re all thankful and left timing could’ve been better but jobs aren’t always available & Gio will be the same in 12/18 months if he’s doing a good job and chance of EPL arrivesNo real difference to people calling Gerrard a rat etc. Us football fans tend to get upset at these types of things.
In Gazzas book he talks about turning up to training after a defeat when he was at Lazio and the car park was full of old banged up fiats whilst he came in a usual fancy footballers car.Fiorentina fans are just a bit mental in general, I'm sure they tired to give the players (including Brian Laudrup) a kicking in the car park after they were relegated in 1993.

Yes, I remember reading similar in the old Italian football fanzine "Rigore".Can't find it, but convinced that was the stat I read years ago. Milan and Inter combined would have a lot more than Juventus in Milan, but the stat was more Juve fans than both separately, so said the article.
Turin is analogous to Manchester; Torino are like City, Juventus like Utd. Man Utd are probably the most popular team in the vast majority of cities outside Manchester, but maybe closest example could be Leeds for somewhere that the hatred is so strong the local teams wins out, as what it is in Florence.
