http://italy.theoffside.com/serie-a/no-one-cares-what-catania-courts-think.html News from the Italian Serie A Thu, 26 Nov 2009 01:30:56 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 http://italy.theoffside.com/serie-a/no-one-cares-what-catania-courts-think.html#comment-7162 Martha Thu, 05 Apr 2007 15:40:35 +0000 http://italy.theoffside.com/serie-a/no-one-cares-what-catania-courts-think.html#comment-7162 Ah, well that make a little more sense Lisa, thanks. The weird thing, though, is that I found the phrase "national observers" in several reports of official governmental meetings/events in Italy, but it was never clear what the hell they are. In the other pieces, they seemed more like reporting agencies than the people in charge of enforcement, but that's all I could discern. (Which, obviously, was far from helpful.)

From what I gather on stadionews, the complete version of "National Observers" that is <a href="http://www.osservatoriosport.interno.it/" rel="nofollow">L’Osservatorio nazionale sulle manifestazioni sportive</a>-National Observatory for Sport, basically, which seems to be part of the Ministry of the Interior/Home Office. (Native/fluent Italian speakers please correct my off-the-cuff translations, my Italian isn't that great.) I think this is another case of Football Italia having translation issues.
