The final victory was necessary to cancel the bad image that Italian football created of itself after its national championship's corruption scandal, to give a lesson to all the "football" critics and to rein over the world after 24 years. Every victory was celebrated like the victory of a Revolution, with flags, dancing in the streets and singing all through the night. Everyday Rome's Circus Maximus was transformed in a battle field, until the night of the 9th of July when over a million people gathered to celebrate the final triumph. The battle was won. http://www.lightstalkers.org en-us http://images.lightstalkers.org/avatars/11869/smack_small.jpg http://www.lightstalkers.org/Antonello Nusca <img src='http://s3.amazonaws.com/lightstalkers/images/44545/01_small.jpg' /><br />an Italy's supporter celebrate on his Fiat 500 the victory at the world Cup 2006<br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/44545'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/44545 Sat, 21 Jul 2007 17:27:27 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/44545 <img src='http://s3.amazonaws.com/lightstalkers/images/44545/01_small.jpg' /><br />an Italy's supporter celebrate on his Fiat 500 the victory at the world Cup 2006<br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/44545'>view full-size image</a> Antonello Nusca <img src='http://s3.amazonaws.com/lightstalkers/images/44542/05_small.jpg' /><br />Football supporters celebrate in Rome Italy's victory at Germany 2006 Football World Cup<br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/44542'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/44542 Sat, 21 Jul 2007 17:29:31 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/44542 <img src='http://s3.amazonaws.com/lightstalkers/images/44542/05_small.jpg' /><br />Football supporters celebrate in Rome Italy's victory at Germany 2006 Football World Cup<br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/44542'>view full-size image</a> Antonello Nusca <img src='http://s3.amazonaws.com/lightstalkers/images/44546/03_small.jpg' /><br />Football supporters celebrate in Rome Italy's victory at Germany 2006 Football World Cup<br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/44546'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/44546 Sat, 21 Jul 2007 17:29:54 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/44546 <img src='http://s3.amazonaws.com/lightstalkers/images/44546/03_small.jpg' /><br />Football supporters celebrate in Rome Italy's victory at Germany 2006 Football World Cup<br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/44546'>view full-size image</a> Antonello Nusca <img src='http://s3.amazonaws.com/lightstalkers/images/44548/02_small.jpg' /><br />Football supporters celebrate in Rome Italy's victory at Germany 2006 Football World Cup<br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/44548'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/44548 Sat, 21 Jul 2007 17:28:40 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/44548 <img src='http://s3.amazonaws.com/lightstalkers/images/44548/02_small.jpg' /><br />Football supporters celebrate in Rome Italy's victory at Germany 2006 Football World Cup<br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/44548'>view full-size image</a> Antonello Nusca <img src='http://s3.amazonaws.com/lightstalkers/images/44554/04_small.jpg' /><br />Football supporters celebrate in Rome Italy's victory at Germany 2006 Football World Cup<br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/44554'>view full-size image</a> http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/44554 Sat, 21 Jul 2007 17:29:04 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/44554 <img src='http://s3.amazonaws.com/lightstalkers/images/44554/04_small.jpg' /><br />Football supporters celebrate in Rome Italy's victory at Germany 2006 Football World Cup<br /><a href='http://www.lightstalkers.org/images/show/44554'>view full-size image</a> Antonello Nusca
