	Encyclopedia: Castel di Sangro (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Castel di Sangro is a city of 5.830 people (july, 31 2005) in the Province of L'Aquila, and is the central city of the Alto Sangro e altopiano delle cinque miglia.
		Castel di Sangro’s predicament in 1996-97 was familiar to Italians, who often use soccer terms such as promozione and retrocessione — the upgrading and downgrading within the various leagues — to chart the political and economic course of the nation as a whole.
		Castel di Sangro turned out to be a rather uninspiring team trained by a conservative coach who liked to play the safest possible game of soccer, with most players bunched up in front of the home goal and one lonely forward up front waiting patiently for the ball and, presumably, for a piccolo miracolo.

	Castel di Sangro Calcio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Castel di Sangro Calcio was a football club from Castel di Sangro in the Province of Aquila in the Abruzzo region of Italy.
		The story of their first season in Serie B is chronicled in the book The Miracle of Castel di Sangro by Joe McGinniss (ISBN 0316557366).
		Still, it was mind-boggling that a team from tiny Castel di Sangro deep in the hinterlands of the Abruzzo not only made it there but lasted seven years.

	La Storia di castel di Sangro (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Castel di Sangro arose on the site of the ancient town of Aufidena, inhabited by the Samnites around the 3rd century B.C.; archeological finds from this time include a Samnite Bull and a lead Urn, displayed in the town’s museum, and a Lapide Osca enclosed in the walls of the council portico.
		The feudal state of Castel di Sangro was bought in 1569 for a mere 16,200 ducats by Don Fabio D’Afflitto, who had the honour of playing host to Johann of Austria, the victor at Lepanto.
		After only a few days, Castel di Sangro was a smoking heap of ruins, amongst which the heroic citizens stayed to lend a hand to the allied troops.

		The story telling is warmly told, as the author, an American looking-in, recounts the internal struggles of the team, player and manager conflicts, internal village power struggles, and how a remote village strives to come to grips with keeping face when in the steady glare of the national spotlight.
		I'd find it difficult to fathom this book without the accompanying pictures, the first being of the town of Castel di Sangro; very picturesque; a team photo; photos of virtually every major character in the book, including il Signore Rezza and including pictures of the team in their "Soviet Jeans" uniforms.
		The first half of the book is great when you read about the soccer team, the tiny town of Castel di Sangro, and their amazing achievement of playing these great Italian teams.
