Juventus' Cristiano Ronaldo reacts next to Atalanta goalie Pierluigi Gollini after missing a scoring chance
during the Serie A soccer match between Juventus and Atalanta
(Marco Alpozzi/LaPresse via AP)ROME — A botched anti-racism campaign launch involving a painting of apes
Consistent failures to punish clubs whose fans direct monkey chants at Black players
A scathing verbal attack from FIFA president Gianni Infantino
who lambasted Italian soccer authorities for “hiding the truth” about discrimination
And even public indignation from a Holocaust survivor- turned-Italian senator
Serie A’s efforts to combat racism inside its stadiums was in shambles little more than a year ago when league CEO Luigi De Siervo decided to take matters into his own hands
While the big headlines were all about offensive behaviour toward the likes of Mario Balotelli
it was a little-known goalkeeper born in Senegal who caught the attention of De Siervo
Omar Daffe walked off the field of a game involving his amateur Agazzanese side when nobody intervened to stop spectators in the Emilia-Romagna town of Bagnolo in Piano from directing offensive chants at him
The match was suspended and Daffe incomprehensibly was handed a one-game ban
“When I heard his story I called him and asked him if he wanted to change jobs and come work for us and start this process,” De Siervo said
The 39-year-old Daffe was understandably caught off guard when De Siervo offered him the opportunity to take charge of Serie A’s office for anti-discrimination and corporate social responsibility
I was really surprised but then when I spoke with him I understood that he really wants to change things
That’s what convinced me to accept the job,” Daffe told The Associated Press in an interview
“He asked me to bring in my own experience and my own feelings as a player and a person to provide perspective.”
A perspective that helped influence the league’s revised awareness campaign that was rolled out across all Serie A formats last weekend in co-ordination with the Italian government’s anti-discrimination department
A video featuring players from all 20 Serie A clubs and all sorts of backgrounds delivering a strong message of inclusion was played before all 10 games
Players wore special patches and perhaps most notably the Italian league collaborated with EA Sports to insert a “Keep Racism Out” kit on the FIFA 21 video game so “players from all over the world will be able to get the special uniform and use it for their team.”
“We tried to do it in a manner that involves every level of soccer,” De Siervo said
“so even kids getting into the sport learn how important the fight against discrimination is.”
It may seem strange that the rollout occurred at a time when fans are not permitted to attend matches in Italy because of the coronavirus pandemic
the absence of spectators has only put racism into temporary hiding
“It’s still there,” the CEO said
“The problem of racism is as old as the history of the world
neither England nor anyone else has solved it
“It’s not like there’s less racism in England
But there’s a different level of tolerance
because (different) people have been living together for longer,” De Siervo added
“Italy is a country where mass immigration has really arrived only recently
France has made more progress because it’s a country that is more multi-cultural than ours.”
Catholic nation with a long history of emigration
about 9% of Italy’s 60 million people are foreign nationals
according to the country’s national statistics agency
Nearly one-fifth of those foreigners come from African countries
who came to Italy when he was 18 and eventually became an Italian citizen
the perception from abroad is that racism is dealt with too lightly in Italy
“There’s mistrust toward different people different meaning `foreigners’ or simply someone who’s different,” Daffe said
and I’ll put myself in that category because I’m Italian
there’s discrimination between people from other regions
We see that in anti-territorial discrimination
There’s work that still needs to be done in that area
Up next for the league’s anti-discrimination office are meetings with players like Balotelli
Lukaku and Koulibaly who have been the target of racism
while there are already working groups studying how to create more effective sanctions
“What we really need to do is enable law enforcement agencies to use facial recognition technology to identify the people who are responsible
and not let them inside the stadiums,” De Siervo said
“But that’s still going to take months

Po Valley Energy Limited (ASX:PVE) expects to complete the regulatory approval process for the Teodorico Offshore Gas field development in northern Italy during the December quarter or early in 2020
Teodorico has the largest gas-in-place of all of Po Valley’s Italian gas fields and is at an advanced stage of assessment
The 100%-owned project is being advanced through the regulatory approval process following grant of primary environmental approval and PVE has submitted the key related EIA approval documentation
PVE has already received a preliminary award for the Teodorico Production Concession and in the March quarter of this year was granted the primary environmental approval
Additional requests from the Ministry for specific plans for water treatment and decommissioning have been submitted
In the interim financial report for the six months ending June 30
chairman and chief executive officer Michael Masterman said PVE’s priority was very focused on bringing the low-cost Selva and Teodorico fields into gas production
“While the Italian regulatory environment remains challenging
the Italian Ministry has confirmed that recent government amendments to energy policy will not affect the approval processes for Selva and Teodorico
both of which continue to progress through the normal approval procedures
“Gas remains a critical transition fuel in Italy’s move to greater renewables and the development and employment generation from the company’s two advanced projects enjoy good local support,” he said
The 63%-owned Selva Gas Field advanced significantly in the half-year with the addition of significant additional 2C and 2P resources to existing reserves in the production concession application area
Good progress is also being made with the environmental approval process
The Selva Malvezzi preliminary gas Production Concession covering 80.68 square kilometres was granted by the Italian Ministry for the Economic Development
An EIA study was officially submitted to competent authorities on April 19 and officially illustrated to the Ministry of Environment on July 11
With the benefit of the successful Podere Maiar well
the East Selva field’s chance of success has been increased to 40% and a new large prospective resource for the Riccardina structure added
taking this concession’s total Prospective Resources (best) to 91.5bcf
Under the first phase of the development plan
PVE will install a fully automated gas plant at the existing Selva/Podere Maiar 1dir well site and install a 1-kilometre long pipeline to connect the well with the nearby Italian National Gas Grid
the field development is designed to produce at a daily rate of up to 150,000 cubic metres (5.3 mmscf) from successfully tested C1 and C2 production levels in the Medium-Upper Pliocene sands of the Porto Garibaldi Formation
Fields and prospects in the Torre del Moro
and Ravizza granted exploration licences are covered under the Italian Government’s Plan of Areas Program
the timeframe for field activities such as drilling and related approvals is suspended to between July 2020 and January 2021 as the Ministry conducts an environmental clearance program
This aligns with PVE’s technical advancement program on Torre del Moro
allowing the company to advance and prioritise low-cost geological and geophysical evaluation
and to advance drilling location selection and prepare drilling programs over a prudent timeframe
PVE’s drilling programs have very small footprints and are designed to the highest environmental and safety standards
While the company is confident that the areas in which it operates should clear the environmental clearance process
there is always a risk of delay or non-clearance
During August the company completed the first tranche of a private placement of A$1.4 million
This tranche raised A$800,000 from sophisticated investors
A second tranche relating to director participation is subject to shareholder approval at an upcoming extraordinary general meeting
Proceeds will be used for the continued development of the company’s assets
