&lt;p&gt;Serie A matchday 23 promises exciting action both at the top and bottom of the table. At San Siro, AC Milan want to build form and, at the same, record their third derby victory over Inter of the season. The Nerazzurri are unbeaten away from home, but their only defeat in the league this season came at the hands of AC Milan in the reverse fixture. In Rome, Napoli are looking to claim the spoils in the Derby del Sole against a Roma side who have picked up form of late. Atalanta will look to put pressure on the top two when they take on Torino. This round of fixtures begins with a relegation six-pointer between Parma and Lecce on Friday night, while, on Saturday, Monza vs Verona and Udinese vs Venezia will also yield some interesting implications lower down the table.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Parma&lt;/strong&gt; host Lecce at the Tardini in the hopes that they can reverse the current trend. The Gialloblù have won just one of their last eight games and have conceded 17 goals in that time. &lt;strong&gt;Tradition &lt;/strong&gt;in this fixture goes Parma’s way, however, as they are unbeaten in 22 of their last 23 games against Lecce. The Salentini, meanwhile, go into it off the back of two heavy defeats (eight goals conceded to Cagliari and Inter). They have, however, proven they can find the way to goal away from home, having scored in four of their last five away matches in Serie A. On a tactical level, Pecchia’s side have created the most &lt;strong&gt;counter-attacks &lt;/strong&gt;(35) in the league, while &lt;strong&gt;Lecce &lt;/strong&gt;are very proficient at containing the counter. It could all come down to the second half: these are the two &lt;strong&gt;worst sides after the break &lt;/strong&gt;(25 goals conceded).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;7fbab8ab-b32f-45af-ad39-72b1e176fdd7&#34; data-image-id=&#34;7fbab8ab-b32f-45af-ad39-72b1e176fdd7&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/43352e0b-5f48-4373-97e3-404ba46ef7dd/Sito_HERO_Parma.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;7fbab8ab-b32f-45af-ad39-72b1e176fdd7&#34; data-image-id=&#34;7fbab8ab-b32f-45af-ad39-72b1e176fdd7&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Monza &lt;/strong&gt;play host to Verona as they look to lift themselves off the bottom of the table. The Brianzoli will also be hoping to extend their &lt;strong&gt;good run&lt;/strong&gt; against the Gialloblù: Monza have never lost to Verona in Serie A (three wins, two draws), having kept a clean sheet in both of their previous meetings at the U-Power Stadium. Bocchtti’s boys won in their last home game, but they are the team to have conceded the most &lt;strong&gt;headed goals &lt;/strong&gt;(12) in the league this season. &lt;strong&gt;Hellas&lt;/strong&gt;, on the other hand, have scored the fewest headers (just 2). The Gialloblù are strong away from home, though, having taken seven points from their last four away games. Fun fact: in those matches, once they took the &lt;strong&gt;lead&lt;/strong&gt;, they didn’t lose.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;19be7350-dc5a-4958-97d5-7f9ddb4d745b&#34; data-image-id=&#34;19be7350-dc5a-4958-97d5-7f9ddb4d745b&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/d8288d18-b340-4941-845f-a1b4066dceae/Sito_HERO_Monza.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;19be7350-dc5a-4958-97d5-7f9ddb4d745b&#34; data-image-id=&#34;19be7350-dc5a-4958-97d5-7f9ddb4d745b&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Udinese vs Venezia &lt;/strong&gt;is a meeting of two sides who are hoping for a reversal in their fortunes. The Friuli-based outfit are without a win in their last five games and haven’t won at home in over two months. Venezia, meanwhile, have yet to win on the road in Serie A this season and have dropped more &lt;strong&gt;points from winning positions &lt;/strong&gt;than any team in Europe’s Top-5 leagues (24). Runjaic’s men are yet to overturn a &lt;strong&gt;deficit &lt;/strong&gt;at home this season. Look out for the &lt;strong&gt;aerial duels&lt;/strong&gt;: Udinese are one of the top sides for headers scored (eight), but have yet to score a headed goal since the start of 2025.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;916a2d94-4747-4bc1-a884-64032fc98f58&#34; data-image-id=&#34;916a2d94-4747-4bc1-a884-64032fc98f58&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/c304260f-db1c-4360-9000-a5ccd260b856/Sito_HERO_Udinese.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;916a2d94-4747-4bc1-a884-64032fc98f58&#34; data-image-id=&#34;916a2d94-4747-4bc1-a884-64032fc98f58&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;At home in Bergamo, &lt;strong&gt;Atalanta &lt;/strong&gt;will want to pick themselves up from the defeat to Napoli. Gasperini’s side have lost just one of their last 17 Serie A games and have an impressive &lt;strong&gt;goalscoring record at home&lt;/strong&gt;, having scored in 26 consecutive games at the &lt;strong&gt;Gewiss Stadium&lt;/strong&gt;. Torino, however, are unbeaten in their last five games and look solid on the road, having drawn three of their last four away matches. Atalanta are devastating from &lt;strong&gt;crosses&lt;/strong&gt;: La Dea have scored eleven goals from crosses, the most of any team in the league alongside Inter. &lt;strong&gt;Torino &lt;/strong&gt;struggle to get going in the first 30 minutes of games, with just three goals scored in the first half an hour – a league-low.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;2a6561b5-13b1-4334-ad75-c4d703dc3395&#34; data-image-id=&#34;2a6561b5-13b1-4334-ad75-c4d703dc3395&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/999a03b1-e62b-48d5-859e-afd0fa81fc13/Sito_HERO_Atalanta.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;2a6561b5-13b1-4334-ad75-c4d703dc3395&#34; data-image-id=&#34;2a6561b5-13b1-4334-ad75-c4d703dc3395&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Saturday night game sees Bologna host Como, two of the top three teams for the number of players born &lt;strong&gt;since the start of 2003 &lt;/strong&gt;to score in Serie A (12 and 7 respectively). &lt;strong&gt;Bologna &lt;/strong&gt;have been scoring with regularity at home lately – 12 goals in 6 games – and have the highest shot accuracy in Serie A: 53.2% of their shots are on target. &lt;strong&gt;Como &lt;/strong&gt;tend to struggle away from home, having taken just seven points and won one game on the road this season. They are particularly susceptible to &lt;strong&gt;set pieces&lt;/strong&gt;, having conceded twelve goals from dead-ball situations, one of the worst records in the league this season. It will be a game that could come alive late on: Como have conceded the most goals in the &lt;strong&gt;last 15 minutes &lt;/strong&gt;of games (11).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;71d8b68b-c641-477a-ae1d-a784053de833&#34; data-image-id=&#34;71d8b68b-c641-477a-ae1d-a784053de833&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/bc88582f-7069-42d1-a78a-69878cf6ad3f/Sito_HERO_Bologna.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;71d8b68b-c641-477a-ae1d-a784053de833&#34; data-image-id=&#34;71d8b68b-c641-477a-ae1d-a784053de833&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the Sunday lunch-time kick-off, &lt;strong&gt;Juventus &lt;/strong&gt;are on the hunt for all three points against an Empoli side, who have been a bit of a bogey team for the Bianconeri of late: just one win for Juve in the last three meetings, and draws in the most recent two. Thiago Motta’s men are still &lt;strong&gt;unbeaten at home &lt;/strong&gt;this season but have recorded seven draws at the Allianz Stadium. &lt;strong&gt;Empoli &lt;/strong&gt;are the only team without a win in the last seven matchdays, but they haven’t lost two consecutive away games so far this season. It will be a game of &lt;strong&gt;opposing football ideologies&lt;/strong&gt;: Juve have completed the most &lt;strong&gt;passes &lt;/strong&gt;in Serie A this season (551 per game), while Empoli have completed the fewest (330).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;e4d82843-f810-493d-b0b3-84fb7e847cb5&#34; data-image-id=&#34;e4d82843-f810-493d-b0b3-84fb7e847cb5&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/900306e5-aecb-4e47-80b3-b05516efe4d4/Sito_HERO_juv.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;e4d82843-f810-493d-b0b3-84fb7e847cb5&#34; data-image-id=&#34;e4d82843-f810-493d-b0b3-84fb7e847cb5&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fiorentina vs Genoa &lt;/strong&gt;is a meeting of two sides, who won last time out but are in very different states of form. The Viola, who haven’t lost any of their last 25 games against Genoa, have struggled at the &lt;strong&gt;Franchi &lt;/strong&gt;in recent weeks as they failed to win any of their last three matches at home. &lt;strong&gt;Genoa&lt;/strong&gt;, on the other hand, have rediscovered a bit of &lt;strong&gt;defensive solidity &lt;/strong&gt;of later, with six clean sheets since December – the most of any side in Serie A in that time. However, the Rossoblù are still struggling up top, with only 20 goals scored in 22 games so far this season, one of the worst attacks in the league. Furthermore, &lt;strong&gt;Vieira’s &lt;/strong&gt;side have yet to score a single goal on the break, despite having generated 22 shots following counter-attacks. The Viola are still yet to concede in the first 15 minutes of matches but have only scored one in the first quarter of an hour.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;9b0195db-7728-470c-aa55-ac1e0753eaa1&#34; data-image-id=&#34;9b0195db-7728-470c-aa55-ac1e0753eaa1&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/2bdfb96b-4667-45fb-b9ee-677a74c56f0c/Sito_HERO_fio.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;9b0195db-7728-470c-aa55-ac1e0753eaa1&#34; data-image-id=&#34;9b0195db-7728-470c-aa55-ac1e0753eaa1&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the &lt;strong&gt;Derby della Madonnina &lt;/strong&gt;at 18:00 CET on Sunday, &lt;strong&gt;AC Milan &lt;/strong&gt;are looking for a historic &lt;strong&gt;trio of wins &lt;/strong&gt;against Inter. A victory would make it only the third time in the club’s history that they have beaten the Nerazzurri three times in the same season. &lt;strong&gt;Inter&lt;/strong&gt;, however, go into it with a 17-point lead over their local rivals and a &lt;strong&gt;brilliant record away from home&lt;/strong&gt;: eight wins and seven consecutive clean sheets away from home for a total score of 23-0. &lt;strong&gt;Inter &lt;/strong&gt;dominate at &lt;strong&gt;set pieces&lt;/strong&gt; (16 goals scored, the best in Europe), while the Rossoneri are one of the best sides at defending dead ball situations in Serie A this season (4 goals conceded). Starting well after the break could be key: Inter have 29 goals in the second half of games to AC Milan’s 14.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;73a843b3-2b7b-4165-9387-1c5c7fe64654&#34; data-image-id=&#34;73a843b3-2b7b-4165-9387-1c5c7fe64654&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/2737221d-64a6-437e-911b-13a8d213ed6f/Sito_HERO_mil.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;73a843b3-2b7b-4165-9387-1c5c7fe64654&#34; data-image-id=&#34;73a843b3-2b7b-4165-9387-1c5c7fe64654&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sunday’s action in the title race concludes when &lt;strong&gt;Napoli &lt;/strong&gt;take on an in-form Roma. The Partenopei travel to the Olimpico off the back of four straight wins in 2025 and are generally very strong away from home (8 wins in 11). &lt;strong&gt;Roma&lt;/strong&gt; have turned it around since the return of &lt;strong&gt;Ranieri&lt;/strong&gt;: the Giallorossi are on a six-game unbeaten run, during which they have scored 15 goals – more than any other team in that time. Both sides are dangerous on the &lt;strong&gt;break &lt;/strong&gt;after winning the ball back at least 40 metres from goal, leading to four goals for Roma and five for Napoli. The Azzurri display an impressive &lt;strong&gt;mental fortitude&lt;/strong&gt;, having won 17 of the 18 games, in which they have gone behind (one draw with Inter at the Meazza).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;71e163c8-fbcd-4dbf-990b-019eb6c8b619&#34; data-image-id=&#34;71e163c8-fbcd-4dbf-990b-019eb6c8b619&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/69967f0d-a745-426c-a42c-c7dd9320cb9e/Sito_HERO_rom.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;71e163c8-fbcd-4dbf-990b-019eb6c8b619&#34; data-image-id=&#34;71e163c8-fbcd-4dbf-990b-019eb6c8b619&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cagliari &lt;/strong&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;Lazio &lt;/strong&gt;meet on Monday night. Based on the head-to-head record, the Biancocelesti are the clear favourites as they are unbeaten in 19 games against the Rossoblù. &lt;strong&gt;Cagliari &lt;/strong&gt;have lost five of their last eleven home games this season and a win would see them equal their number of &lt;strong&gt;home defeats &lt;/strong&gt;from the whole of last season. &lt;strong&gt;Lazio&lt;/strong&gt;, on the other hand, are the only team not to have drawn away from home this season. The capital-city club are lethal on the &lt;strong&gt;counter-attack&lt;/strong&gt;, having scored five on the break (a league-high, level with Juventus and Parma). &lt;strong&gt;Set pieces &lt;/strong&gt;are also likely to prove pivotal; Lazio have scored 13 goals from dead-ball situations, while Cagliari have conceded 14 (the worst record in the league).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;1027c006-f173-4a51-944e-459c3c43ce0a&#34; data-image-id=&#34;1027c006-f173-4a51-944e-459c3c43ce0a&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/2f9f2b6b-01ae-4baa-b479-560eb2094acc/Sito_HERO_cag.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;1027c006-f173-4a51-944e-459c3c43ce0a&#34; data-image-id=&#34;1027c006-f173-4a51-944e-459c3c43ce0a&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;

The action at the top takes us to two iconic Italian grounds: at San Siro, AC Milan will look to break Inter’s good run of form; at the Olimpico, Roma go up against leaders Napoli.

Serie A matchday 23 promises exciting action both at the top and bottom of the table. At San Siro, AC Milan want to build form and, at the same, record their third derby victory over Inter of the season. The Nerazzurri are unbeaten away from home, but their only defeat in the league this season came at the hands of AC Milan in the reverse fixture. In Rome, Napoli are looking to claim the spoils in the Derby del Sole against a Roma side who have picked up form of late. Atalanta will look to put pressure on the top two when they take on Torino.

Torino struggle to get going in the first 30 minutes of games, with just three goals scored in the first half an hour – a league-low.<figure data-asset-id="2a6561b5-13b1-4334-ad75-c4d703dc3395" data-image-id="2a6561b5-13b1-4334-ad75-c4d703dc3395"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/999a03b1-e62b-48d5-859e-afd0fa81fc13/Sito_HERO_Atalanta.png" data-asset-id="2a6561b5-13b1-4334-ad75-c4d703dc3395" data-image-id="2a6561b5-13b1-4334-ad75-c4d703dc3395" alt=""></figure>The Saturday night game sees Bologna host Como, two of the top three teams for the number of players born since the start of 2003 to score in Serie A (12 and 7 respectively). Bologna have been scoring with regularity at home lately – 12 goals in 6 games – and have the highest shot accuracy in Serie A: 53.2% of their shots are on target. Como tend to struggle away from home, having taken just seven points and won one game on the road this season. They are particularly susceptible to set pieces, having conceded twelve goals from dead-ball situations, one of the worst records in the league this season. It will be a game that could come alive late on: Como have conceded the most goals in the last 15 minutes of games (11).<figure data-asset-id="71d8b68b-c641-477a-ae1d-a784053de833" data-image-id="71d8b68b-c641-477a-ae1d-a784053de833"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/bc88582f-7069-42d1-a78a-69878cf6ad3f/Sito_HERO_Bologna.png" data-asset-id="71d8b68b-c641-477a-ae1d-a784053de833" data-image-id="71d8b68b-c641-477a-ae1d-a784053de833" alt=""></figure>In the Sunday lunch-time kick-off, Juventus are on the hunt for all three points against an Empoli side, who have been a bit of a bogey team for the Bianconeri of late: just one win for Juve in the last three meetings, and draws in the most recent two. Thiago Motta’s men are still unbeaten at home this season but have recorded seven draws at the Allianz Stadium. Empoli are the only team without a win in the last seven matchdays, but they haven’t lost two consecutive away games so far this season. It will be a game of opposing football ideologies: Juve have completed the most passes in Serie A this season (551 per game), while Empoli have completed the fewest (330).<figure data-asset-id="e4d82843-f810-493d-b0b3-84fb7e847cb5" data-image-id="e4d82843-f810-493d-b0b3-84fb7e847cb5"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/900306e5-aecb-4e47-80b3-b05516efe4d4/Sito_HERO_juv.png" data-asset-id="e4d82843-f810-493d-b0b3-84fb7e847cb5" data-image-id="e4d82843-f810-493d-b0b3-84fb7e847cb5" alt=""></figure>Fiorentina vs Genoa is a meeting of two sides, who won last time out but are in very different states of form. The Viola, who haven’t lost any of their last 25 games against Genoa, have struggled at the Franchi in recent weeks as they failed to win any of their last three matches at home. Genoa, on the other hand, have rediscovered a bit of defensive solidity of later, with six clean sheets since December – the most of any side in Serie A in that time. However, the Rossoblù are still struggling up top, with only 20 goals scored in 22 games so far this season, one of the worst attacks in the league. Furthermore, Vieira’s side have yet to score a single goal on the break, despite having generated 22 shots following counter-attacks. The Viola are still yet to concede in the first 15 minutes of matches but have only scored one in the first quarter of an hour.<figure data-asset-id="9b0195db-7728-470c-aa55-ac1e0753eaa1" data-image-id="9b0195db-7728-470c-aa55-ac1e0753eaa1"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/2bdfb96b-4667-45fb-b9ee-677a74c56f0c/Sito_HERO_fio.png" data-asset-id="9b0195db-7728-470c-aa55-ac1e0753eaa1" data-image-id="9b0195db-7728-470c-aa55-ac1e0753eaa1" alt=""></figure>In the Derby della Madonnina at 18:00 CET on Sunday, AC Milan are looking for a historic trio of wins against Inter. A victory would make it only the third time in the club’s history that they have beaten the Nerazzurri three times in the same season. Inter, however, go into it with a 17-point lead over their local rivals and a brilliant record away from home: eight wins and seven consecutive clean sheets away from home for a total score of 23-0. Inter dominate at set pieces (16 goals scored, the best in Europe), while the Rossoneri are one of the best sides at defending dead ball situations in Serie A this season (4 goals conceded). Starting well after the break could be key: Inter have 29 goals in the second half of games to AC Milan’s 14.<figure data-asset-id="73a843b3-2b7b-4165-9387-1c5c7fe64654" data-image-id="73a843b3-2b7b-4165-9387-1c5c7fe64654"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/2737221d-64a6-437e-911b-13a8d213ed6f/Sito_HERO_mil.png" data-asset-id="73a843b3-2b7b-4165-9387-1c5c7fe64654" data-image-id="73a843b3-2b7b-4165-9387-1c5c7fe64654" alt=""></figure>Sunday’s action in the title race concludes when Napoli take on an in-form Roma. The Partenopei travel to the Olimpico off the back of four straight wins in 2025 and are generally very strong away from home (8 wins in 11). Roma have turned it around since the return of Ranieri: the Giallorossi are on a six-game unbeaten run, during which they have scored 15 goals – more than any other team in that time. Both sides are dangerous on the break after winning the ball back at least 40 metres from goal, leading to four goals for Roma and five for Napoli. The Azzurri display an impressive mental fortitude, having won 17 of the 18 games, in which they have gone behind (one draw with Inter at the Meazza).<figure data-asset-id="71e163c8-fbcd-4dbf-990b-019eb6c8b619" data-image-id="71e163c8-fbcd-4dbf-990b-019eb6c8b619"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/69967f0d-a745-426c-a42c-c7dd9320cb9e/Sito_HERO_rom.png" data-asset-id="71e163c8-fbcd-4dbf-990b-019eb6c8b619" data-image-id="71e163c8-fbcd-4dbf-990b-019eb6c8b619" alt=""></figure>Cagliari and Lazio meet on Monday night. Based on the head-to-head record, the Biancocelesti are the clear favourites as they are unbeaten in 19 games against the Rossoblù. Cagliari have lost five of their last eleven home games this season and a win would see them equal their number of home defeats from the whole of last season. Lazio, on the other hand, are the only team not to have drawn away from home this season. The capital-city club are lethal on the counter-attack, having scored five on the break (a league-high, level with Juventus and Parma). Set pieces are also likely to prove pivotal; Lazio have scored 13 goals from dead-ball situations, while Cagliari have conceded 14 (the worst record in the league).<figure data-asset-id="1027c006-f173-4a51-944e-459c3c43ce0a" data-image-id="1027c006-f173-4a51-944e-459c3c43ce0a"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/2f9f2b6b-01ae-4baa-b479-560eb2094acc/Sito_HERO_cag.png" data-asset-id="1027c006-f173-4a51-944e-459c3c43ce0a" data-image-id="1027c006-f173-4a51-944e-459c3c43ce0a" alt=""></figure>(Photo Getty Images)
