IANI, but I don't know that anyone would call Juve-Inter "the most important derby in Italian Football", given that it's not strictly speaking a derby, and that it's largely overshadowed in interest and fierceness by Milan-Inter, Roma-Lazio, and probably even Juve-Toro and Catania-Palermo.
I'm guessing this page has been edited recently by unregistered Milan fans, and probably not those from Italy either... Derby D'Italia is still used to describe the match between Inter and Juve even if today they aren't both the top teams in Italy. Just like how Dundee United v Aberdeen matches will always be called the "New Firm" derby even though both aren't doing very well at all. Its more about the tradition of the derby rather than claiming its the biggest game of the season. So stop editing this page adding these points, they've already been made, in a far clearer manner, by somebody else. And go and buy a Gazzetta and read it for yourselves. --Simon 14:25, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
With the recent matchup between Juve and Inter last month, it was again shown that Derby d'Italia is a reference to Inter-Juve. See for example UEFA.com: http://www.uefa.com/footballeurope/news/kind=2/newsid=612471.html From now on all entries by Milan fans without citations justifying their claims will be reverted. I wish somebody would bloody add something to the discussion here already instead of just coming along and editing the page --Simonski 16:29, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
