Coppa Campioni d'Italia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Coppa Campioni d'Italia is the trophy that in Italian football represents the victory of the Serie A championship.
The trophy was created in 1960 by sculptor and medalist Ettore Calvelli; has a height of 45 cm around and weighs about 5 kg, rests on a stone base hard blue sodalite and has at its center a ring of gold depicting an allegory of athletes; between 2015 and 2016, these dimensions increased (specifically, about 20 cm in height) for television requirements.[1] The Cup has bears engraved on golden base, the names of all the teams that have won the top division since the season 1960–61.[2]
The first team to be awarded the Coppa Campioni d'Italia was Juventus in 1961,[2] the same club as in 2005 received the trophy for the first time on the field (which they were later stripped of).[3][4]
The original trophy remains property of the Lega Serie A and is only held in custody by the winning club; when returned the club receives a reduced scale model to be exhibited in their trophy room.[5]
