The Derby della Madonnina, also known as the Derby di Milano (or the Milan Derby, as it is known in the English-speaking world), is a football match between the two prominent Milanese clubs Milan and Internazionale of Italy. Along with the Rome, Genoa and Turin derbies, it is widely considered one of the major crosstown derbies in not just the Italian league, but the world. Taking place at least twice during the year via the league fixtures, this cross-town rivalry has extended to the Coppa Italia, Champions League, and Supercoppa Italiana, as well as minor tournaments and friendlies. It is one of the only major crosstown derbies in association football that are always played in the same stadium, in this case the San Siro, as both Milan and Internazionale call San Siro "home". It is called "Derby della Madonnina" in honour of one of the main sights in the city of Milan, the statue of the Virgin Mary on the top of the Duomo, which is often referred to as the "Madonnina" ("Little Madonna" in Italian). The first derby match between the two Milanese rivals was held in the final of the Chiasso Cup of 1908, a football tournament played in Canton Ticino, Switzerland, on 18 October of that year; the ''Rossoneri'' won 2–1. == Rivalry culture == On 16 December 1899, Alfred Edwards and others founded the ''Milan Cricket and Football Club''. Edwards, a former British vice-consul in Milan and a well-known personality of the Milanese high society, was the club's first elected president. Initially, the team included a cricket section, managed by Edward Berra, and a football section managed by David Allison. The Milan team soon gained relevant notability under Herbert Kilpin's guide. The first trophy to be won was the ''Medaglia del Re'' (King's Medal) in January 1900, and the team later won three national leagues, in 1901, 1906 and 1907. The triumph of 1901 was particularly relevant because it ended the consecutive series of wins of Genoa, which had been the only team to have won the title prior to 1901. In 1908, issues over the signing of foreign players led to a split and the foundation of F.C. Internazionale Milano. In the past, Inter was seen as the club of the Milan bourgeoisie (nicknamed bauscia, a milanese term meaning "braggart"), whereas Milan (nicknamed casciavit, meaning in the milanese dialect "screwdriver", with reference to the blue-collar worker) was supported mainly by working class.〔(E. Pigozzi, Come difendersi dai Milanesi. Firenze, Giunti, 2006 ) (in Italian)〕 Because of their more prosperous ancestry, Inter fans had the "luxury" to go to the San Siro stadium by scooter ("''muturèta''," another nickname given to the ''Nerazzurri''). On the other hand, the ''Rossoneri'' were also known as "''tramvèe''" (i.e. able to be transferred to the stadium only by public transport).〔http://www.inter-calcio.it/curiosita.htm〕 Today, this difference has largely been mitigated, as Milan is now owned by former conservative Prime Minister of Italy Silvio Berlusconi and Inter is owned by a centre-left businessman Massimo Moratti. During the mid-1960s, Inter was the more successful club, winning the European Cup twice in a row and the Intercontinental Cup twice in a row. However, during the late 1980s and the 1990s, Silvio Berlusconi's Milan was the more dominant team, with many victories both in Italy and in the European competitions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Derby della Madonnina」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
