Italy - List of Champions

The oldest Italian championships officially considered (the FIF tournament - Federation Italienne du Football) were not played in a single league but played in various regional groups with play-offs. The award was a Cup which could be kept after winning three tournaments.
The first Cup was offered in 1898 by the Duca degli Abruzzi, a member of the Royal House of Savoy, and was awarded to Genoa Cricket & Football Club in 1901. (Not to be confused with the Medaglia di Re, a trophy for challenge matches secured by Milan in 1902.)
The second trophy was offered by Dan Fawcus, player and manager of Genoa, and was awarded to his team in 1904.
The third (and last) Cup was offered in 1905 by James R. Spensley the old goalkeeper of Genoa who became manager and FIF referee. It was gained by SG Pro Vercelli.

During that early period, most of football teams played for the FGNI (Italian Federation of Gymnastics) instead of FIF events (or indifferently for both federations). FGNI organised annual Concorsi Federali di Calcio (official Italian championships) sometimes inserting that events in the three-yearly Concorsi Nazionali FGNI, a sort of national Convention of all sports (like Olympic games). The necessity to perform a lot of different sports was the reason for their seasonal placing (summer or early autumn) in order to have dry fields to play. FIF Championships were rather played in winter time.
