Chievo Verona History
|
Associazione Calcio Chievo Verona
is an Italian football club named after a minor suburb of Verona
and owned by Paluani, a pasta company and the inspiration for
their original name, Paluani Chievo. They were founded in 1929
but did not became professional until 1986 when they joined
Serie C2 and changed their name to Chievo Verona. They were
promoted to Serie A in 2001.
They currently share the Bentegodi Stadium with Hellas Verona.
The club's historic nickname is gialloblu (from the club colors
of yellow and blue), but is more often referred to today as the
Asini Volanti (Flying Donkeys). This nickname, derived from the
mounted horseman on the club's crest, was originally a
derogatory term applied by fans from crosstown rivals Hellas,
who claimed Chievo had stolen Hellas' colors, name, and stadium.
However, Chievo fans have now largely embraced the nickname as a
badge of honor. Chievo's official Web site shows an image of a
flying donkey next to the club's crest, and the club's online
shop sells a stuffed flying donkey doll. The club shares its
stadium with Hellas which is the 42,160 seater Marc'Antonio
Bentegodi stadium. |
