The Derby della Lanterna, Italian for the "Derby of the Lighthouse", is Genoa's local derby, played by Genoa and Sampdoria.[1] It takes place at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, which both clubs share.

Background

[edit]

The derby's name is derived from the Torre della Lanterna, the ancient landmark and the main lighthouse for the city's port.[2]

The rivalry is fueled by the fact that Genoa has a long history, being Italy's oldest football club, while Sampdoria is the country's newer continuously operating club.[3]

It is the oldest derby in Italian football with the first match being played in 1902, when Sampdoria were known as Andrea Doria.[4] 49 matches were played in total between Genoa and this incarnation of Sampdoria, with the former emerging with 30 victories in all competitions, with only eight wins for Andrea Doria.[4]

In 1946, a merger occurred between Sampierdarenese and Andrea Doria to form Sampdoria and the current incarnation of the rivalry began.[4] The first match between Sampdoria and Genoa was held in November 1946 with 45,000 fans and the President of the Republic Enrico De Nicola in attendance.[5] The upstarts Sampdoria won 3–0 as Giuseppe Baldini scored the first goal with a long-range thunderbolt that was so good that Genoa’s Juan Carlos Verdeal went to shake his hand after it crossed the line.[5]
