⚽ For some fans, Calcio Italiano was more than a football tournament.

When Victorian Inter Milan supporter Vince Salviani heard his beloved club was coming to Perth, there was only one thing to do. Book the flights and bring the family.

From watching Inter take the field and meeting club legends at open training sessions, to exploring Fremantle, Kings Park, the WA Museum and the South West, the trip became much more than match day.

“It was like an out-of-body experience” Vince said.

Like thousands of visitors, Vince turned a football festival into a WA holiday, discovering local food, attractions and experiences along the way.

The goals may have stopped, but the memories are still playing on repeat. 💙🖤

⚽🧵 Every stitch tells a story.

Before the first ball of Calcio Italiano was kicked in Perth, local maker Emily Hessell was busy creating a special set of handcrafted footballs to mark the event.

Made from kangaroo leather and hand-stitched tile by tile, each ball took up to 12 hours to complete and was presented to AC Milan, Inter, Juventus and Palermo FC as official gifts during their visit.

In this video, Emily shares the craftsmanship behind her work, captured before the tournament brought a little taste of Italy to WA.

Now that the final whistle has blown, it's a fitting way to look back on a memorable month of football, culture and connection.
