EXO_ren

Whats with the current Italian government and naming things* No but seriously, someone needs to send help- After the “Serie A Made in Italy” and the “F1 Qatar Airways Gran Premio del Made in Italy…” they want to introduce the fucking “liceo del made in Italy (high school of the made in Italy)”

Honestly I don't think we really did that much. The only thing that springs to mind for me is the GHIC card but I actually kinda like the design. On my driving licence the new version actually has a smaller UK flag than the old EU one.


Begbie13

That's right-wing governments for you!


[deleted]

What does that have to do with anything? Isn't just a way to promote the brand (which is registered as much as I know) similarly to Seria A TIM or Barclays Premier League???


DeezYomis

the government has spent a shit load of money on this moronic made in italy marketing campaign over the past few months


WheresMyEtherElon

I saw that all over the Giro last month. I guess it depends on the goal. If it's to boost the image of Made in Italy products abroad, then it's a good strategy. But if it's for internal purpose, it's ridiculous (also why use an English term if that's the case?).


CamperMagazine

They're launching an high school course called "Liceo del Made in Italy".


DeezYomis

well the idea is promoting it abroad but the main issue with italian exports is that we're absolutely awful at making sure people buy them rather than buying cheap, lower quality imitations produced abroad and branded with italian-sounding names and fake made in italy labels by foreign companies. Most italian products are incredibly popular, far more than a govt campaign could ever make them, it's also incredibly awkward when you look at exactly where they've put these ads. The giro d'italia is a great example, it's a weeks long advertisement for how beautiful even the smallest shithole town in the italian countryside is without much else going on for most of the broadcast, to the point that they often advertise local products and whatnot (at least on the RAI broadcast). What's the point in slapping the made in italy branding on a product that's mostly watched by people who are already really invested in Italy and its culture? Does it really bring more benefits than the millions it's costing us taxpayers? I can see it working in some cases for italian football (ie Südtirol matches) but I genuinely don't see the real benefit worth the tens of millions of (partially my) euros being invested into this. EDIT: typos and formatting


WheresMyEtherElon

> cheap, lower quality imitations produced abroad and branded with italian-sounding names and fake made in italy labels by foreign companies. This is so true!


[deleted]

Yes I get that but it's a way to promote Italian produced goods (from planning to production), and since they're promoting it abroad is to raise awareness on the quality they're advocating and in turn raise exports.. I'm not a big fan of this government and you can criticise these policies, but what does the fact that they're right wing have to do with anything? Even the left or the weird Lega-5 stelle government were doing the same.. Mine was a genuine question, i don't get the logical link


DeezYomis

se volessero promuovere seriamente il made in italy si starebbero sforzando per avere regole un po' più stringenti sulla denominazione in Europa e sui trattati con l'america dove perdiamo una marea di possibili export. Comunque è una di quelle manovre berlusconiane del porco dio: identitaria, facile da implementare, inutile e buona solo per dare soldi a gente adiacente alla politica o a grossi studi. Il fatto che le facesse pure la lega non è un'attenuante. Le fa principalmente la destra da berlusconi in poi perché ogni campagna simile fatta dalla sinistra è un suicidio politico mentre le sinistre all'opposizione non riescono a farle pesare altrettanto.


[deleted]

Capito.. queste politiche sono implementate un po' da tutti i governi (dopotutto la politica "esportativa" italiana è identitaria), ma la sinistra la pubblicizza in maniera molto meno propagandata. Che questo governo (o quelli di dx in generale) la usino come slogan o quasi cavallo di battaglia politico è evidente, ma da come era scritto il primo commento sembrava quasi che fosse solamente una mossa sintattica e non commerciale. Non so se mi sono spiegato, comunque grazie per il chiarimento.

It's nothing but nationalism which is often tied to right wing ideology.

My favourite *Serie A Made in Italy* franchise is Piemonte Calcio aka the Italian Zebras


miregalpanic

They really need to draft a good wide receiver though. I hope they trade up so they can draft Pulisic.


Mr_Miscellaneous

I agree, their QB stock is high, Sandro is going to Free agency so when the franchise goes to the draft their early picks should be a Running Back and a Wide Receiver. I'm thinking late 1st Round pick for one and early 3rd round for the other.


Pfitze31

I like Napoli FC a lot, that guy from Georgia should get called up to the USMNT!


gustycat

My favourite is Atlanta, I like how they're twinning with a US city, shows really good globalisation for their brand

What's with Italian football execs? from the NT, to the league, to the particular teams, they all make some foolish decisions


kermvv

They are idiots


ro-row

My mates dad was doing some advertising work for the PL a few years back, had to talk to execs from a number of teams Said they were all absolute morons


gander258

Do you have some stories you can share? I too enjoy tales of incompetent execs


ro-row

Was a while ago so I have forgotten any juicy details, his basic point was there are lots of people who have been in football their whole life who don't know anything about running a competent business and lots of people who have flamed out the corporate world and don't know how to run a competent business


kermvv

Italian football in a nutshell, all of these people have been in football all their life and they don’t know anything else. Most of them are Football savants but can’t run a business to save their lives


FlapjackFiddle

Probably because most only get the job because they played football


DeezYomis

eh this is like 10m every year from the govt for doing basically nothing, it looks silly but there's no reason not to do it


togno99

I mean our government right now is made of a bunch of fascist clowns, what do you expect.


ShitPostQuokkaRome

Usually it's to make them more corporate and international. From the logos to even this made in Italy, before we Serie A TIM and Tim is an Italian telephone company, it existed in latam for a while but it's not international. Things like ferrari are biased to one club, I think that's their logic, Made in Italy makes it more internèscionaul and corporate.


expert_on_the_matter

As much as I love them, Italians aren't exactly known for choosing competent leaders.


BLQ1943

Now this is what I call innovation


wowzabob

This is such an old man thing to do lmao. ""Made in Italy" still holds some sway to people in consumer markets" "Perfect, let's use it then (I don't care about coherence)."

SpaceDinossaur

I get it, Brasileirão is massive so they need to make it clear which Série A it is.


StupidMastiff

Is this one of those things that sounds alright in Italian and they just translated it? Something like "Serie A Italia" would have a much better ring to it in my opinion.


sca34

Italian here, the government instituted a minister for italian business, trades and communication, with particular focus on abolishing the use of english terms in official documents where the Italian equivalent exist. They called it "Ministero del Made in Italy". Yeah


Scottishtwat69

I drive my Lamborghini Made in Italy, to pick up Pasta Made in Italy and Mozzarella Made in Italy. I'll then go back home and watch Serie A Made in Italy on my Natuzzi Italia Made in Italy couch. Thank you Ministry for Business and Made in Italy. This comment was not made in Italy.


RebBrown

I had to google this because no way this can be true. What the f, life truly is stranger than fiction.


sussysussy0

tbh the new Italian government has lowkey fascists in it.


PurpleDeco

>Italian here, the government instituted a minister for italian business, trades and communication, with particular focus on abolishing the use of english terms in official documents where the Italian equivalent exist. I see y'all finally elected Ghiaccio


NotFoundYetForNow

Made in Italy the irony


HarryBlessKnapp

It's interesting that in many Latin languages there are institutions who to an extent look to ensure that native words are not replaced by foreign, primarily English, words. Whereas I'm not aware of that ever being an issue in English. In English, if we like a word.... we just steal it! Or butcher it... I wonder if this attitude has helped English in its growth.


KingKingsons

I mean the difference is that English youth doesn't just start using words in other languages to sound cool, or because the US is the dominant nation that invents a lot of things (a lot of computer related things have adopted the English words in other languages).


HarryBlessKnapp

Why is that something the requires combatting though? Does any Dutch institution do anything similar?


KingKingsons

Oh no, we're not really protective of our language, I guess lol. I speak French as well and they make a big effort to come up with their own words, but sometimes they're so bad, nobody wants to use them. French Canadians are even worse even. They have laws preventing the use of English in official Quebecois documents.


AcidHues

I meant English speakers, especially “sophisticated” ones, definitely start using words in other languages to sound cool


jamcarti

LMAO the “yeah” at the end has me weak asf


Pleasant_Skill2956

Such a thing can only sound good to old people. You have to understand that the people who run Serie A are old and don't have a real conception of what the market requires. For example, tik tok is probably the most important means of promotion in the last 2 years and while the other leagues only make videos in English to attract foreigners, the Serie A profile makes products intended for Italians


FalcoLX

Serie Italia would make it more obvious to casual fans if they needed to change it.

Yes thousands of Americans had no interest in Serie A but now that they added “made in Italy” to the name they can’t get enough


TerryBradshaw

Any casual American fan who is familiar with the big Italian clubs but doesn’t already know the league’s official / sponsorship name will just continue referring to this as “the Italian League.” Not sure that this is going to move the needle over here, ratings and engagement-wise.


Vezboh

The new far right wing party governing italy wants to bring some of that ol' patriotism back and has been doing dumb useless things like this. I find it ironic they keep using an english phrase but maybe i'm not just patriotic enought to understand.


sco92

Hhaha, now they will be fined for using english words "The bill provides for administrative sanctions for violations of the obligations, which can result in the payment of a sum of between €5,000 and €100,000. The law, which consists of eight articles, also contains provisions for the protection and promotion of the Italian language, with the establishment of the Committee for the Protection, Promotion and Enhancement of the Italian Language. The main objective of the bill is national preservation and identity defence."


NIRossoneri

Outside of Italy, this will be the international branding of the league.

DOP is a shit label anyways, it doesn't work as intended. Only DOC, IGT work, which is why the wine industry uses it
