MILAN – The exhibition La Fabbrica delle Coppe – The Cup Factory – celebrates the most important trophy in world football, the FIFA World Cup, forged in 1971.

The cups for the exhibition were manufactured by GDE Bertoni just outside of Milan, based on the project of sculptor Silvio Gazzaniga. For the first time original drawings, models and machinery will be on show as will the trophy won by Italy in 2006.

The show runs until October 31st. Click here for all the details.

MILAN – Ex-Milan Stefano Eranio spoke to the Milan Channel earlier today. Here were his comments, starting with new coach Sinisa Mihajlovic:

“I know Mihajlovic well and I hope that the rebuilding job that he did at Sampdoria can be repeated at Milan. We will give him a bit of time to have a full-squad available. Sinisa is the type of person that makes himself respected and it’s one of his positive attributes. He’s determined, very meticulous and he will try and put everything together. The club have done very well and all that is missing is a signing in defence. I don’t know Romagnoli well, but there are lots of other good defenders. Bertolacci is a very good and intelligent player, he’s become an important player. Playing for Milan won’t be easy, but he has all the qualities to do so. I don’t know much about Jose Mauri but in front of the defence the team works well around him.”
