Involvement of Achille Starace
The new secretary of the Fascist Party which was appointed in 1933, Achille Starace, disliked the incumbent FIGCâs chairman Leandro Arpinati. He obtained Arpinati to be fired and arrested by Mussolini after false accusations of infidelity. His hate was strong enough that he imposed to the new chairman Giorgio Vaccaro the disbandment of the Serie B round robin, the main creation of Arpinati's sport career. They denied a return to a northâsouth division of the league, so a westâeast division was introduced, with rising costs considering Italy's shape.[citation needed]
