Soccer: Fiorentina fined for anti-Napoli chants

(ANSA) - ROME, AUG 29 - Fiorentina were fined 15,000 euros by the Serie A sporing judge Monday for anti-Napoli chants made by its fans during a goalless draw in Florence Sunday night.
    The chants were found to have been of an offensive "territorial and religious nature".
    Northern Italian fans frequently target Napoli supporters with 'territorial' insults such as "Come On Vesuvius" and "Come On Cholera", often playing on stereotypes of the southern city as allegedly lawless and dirty.
    On this occasion the Viola fans also chanted "San Gennaro piece of sh*t", referring to Naples' patron saint.
    Insults by individual fans against Napoli's Tuscan coach Luciano Spalletti, who almost came to blows with one ultra, apparently went unpunished. (ANSA).
