Why Calciotrici?

Our story has been sparked by our experiences across the pond in a country we love: Italy. The simplicity of the Italian culture is something we feel should be cherished and will be targeted through our clothing brand. Here in the United States, we tend to overcomplicate life by prioritizing work over living. A conversation over an espresso and a game of cards can go a long way, supporting the Italian lifestyle: “La Dolce Vita.”

Soccer, referred to as “calcio” in Italy, is known as “The World’s Game.” It has created everlasting memories and bonds for all, which is a goal we aim to achieve through our mission.

We believe that passion fuels purpose. Through hard work and dedication anything can be achieved. These are pillars we live by. Our mission is to influence our fans to do the same with the hopes that they can pursue their respective passions. 

Passion ignites our story, what will ignite yours?

My family comes from a small town an hour outside of Napoli, known as Sant’Angelo a Cupolo. I have had the privilege to visit them many times, which has allowed me to experience an authentic Italian lifestyle. This picture was from one of my most recent trips in 2023, an experience I will remember forever; during the Scudetto celebrations of SSC Napoli, the club I am so passionate about. I have been a fan since 2012 and my fandom was sparked by my Nonno. In the background is the infamous Mount Vesuvio, an active volcano which looms over the city. The people of this city inspire me to live my life the same way: passion filled!

Matty

In the early 20th century, my great-grandparents from both sides of my family embarked on a life-changing voyage from Napoli to the United States. Their courage and perseverance forever set the foundation for our family's long and proud lineage, influencing our values, traditions, and the opportunities available to us today. Fast forward to October of 2023, I was grateful to experience the motherland for my first time alongside my family. This picture was taken in front of the breathtaking views in Ravello overlooking La Costiera Amalfitana. Having known the language and seeing the culture at first hand, I forever fell in love with “La Dolce Vita.” I am eternally grateful for the immense hard work and sacrifices my great-grandparents made, which continues to inspire and resonate through our family’s legacy.
