The study of the relations maintained between the Fascist regime in Italy and the world of football in the inter-war period makes it possible to deconstruct several commonplaces on its supposed instrumentalisation by the political power during this period. In fact, the Fascists were suspicious of this sport, already well structured and growing in an urban society that the regime was trying to tame. Under these conditions, the legalization of professionalism and the successive creation of a unified national championship (the serie A) were the result of logics of compromise between the industrial bourgeoisie and the Fascists in power
