The Derby della Lanterna, Italian for the "Derby of the Lantern", is Genoa's local derby, played by U.C. Sampdoria and Genoa C.F.C.^[1] It takes place at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, which both clubs share.

Background[]

The derby's name is derived from the Torre della Lanterna, the ancient landmark and the main lighthouse for the city's port.^[2]

The rivalry is fueled by the fact that Genoa has a long history, being Italy's oldest football club, while Sampdoria is the country's newer continuously operating club.^[3]

It is the oldest derby in Italian football with the first match being played in 1902, when Sampdoria were known as Andrea Doria.^[4] 49 matches were played in total between Genoa and this incarnation of Sampdoria, with the former emerging with 30 victories in all competitions, with only eight wins for Andrea Doria.^[4]

In 1946, a merger occurred between Sampierdarenese and Andrea Doria to form Sampdoria and the current incarnation of the rivalry began.^[4] The first match between Sampdoria and Genoa was held in November 1946 with 45,000 fans and the President of the Republic Enrico De Nicola in attendance.^[5] The upstarts Sampdoria won 3–0 as Giuseppe Baldini scored the first goal with a long-range thunderbolt that was so good that Genoa’s went to shake his hand after it crossed the line.^[5]
