Rinascimento: The story of SSC Napoli's historic 2022/23 Serie A victory under Luciano Spalletti by Tom Underhill

Rinascimento tells the tale of Napoli's first Serie A title in 33 years, an achievement that saw the football-mad city celebrate like never before.

Before the 2022/23 season, SSC Napoli and Luciano Spalletti were considered two of Italy's great underachievers. The club had not won a league title since Diego Maradona led them to glory in 1990. Spalletti had won respect across a three-decade managerial career but did not have a Serie A winner's medal to his name. These perennial bridesmaids came together in 2021, and two years later changed the narrative with a campaign that will live long in the memory.

Napoli's first Maradona-less Serie A triumph came out of the blue, having experienced near-misses and significant squad turnover in the years beforehand. A largely unknown and unfancied group of players adopted Spalletti's tactical blueprint and delivered beautiful, winning football - the kind of football that its passionate fanbase could attach itself to.

From inception to Diego Maradona, from bankruptcy to a third Scudetto and the players who achieved it - this is Napoli's story.
