Summary
Details

From the first organised football played beside the Bay of Naples to the fourth Italian championship under Antonio Conte, Ad Maiora Semper: A Fact-Based History of Naples' Blue Football Club tells the full story of one of football's most passionate and dramatic institutions.

This book follows the club's early foundations, the birth of its symbols, the rise of Attila Sallustro, the ambition of the Lauro years, the first Coppa Italia, the glamour of Sívori and Altafini, the near misses of the 1970s, and the arrival of Diego Armando Maradona in 1984. It traces the first Scudetto, the domestic double, the UEFA Cup triumph, the second Scudetto, the painful decline after Maradona, bankruptcy in 2004, and the extraordinary rebirth under Aurelio De Laurentiis.

The modern era receives the same detailed treatment: Lavezzi, Hamsík, Cavani, Benítez, Sarri, Insigne, Mertens, Spalletti's 2022-23 Scudetto, and Conte's 2024-25 title. Written in a polished, narrative style and grounded in verifiable facts, this is the story of a club shaped by collapse, renewal, beauty, defiance, and the unbreakable bond between Naples and its blue shirt.
