This thesis examines branding in Italian football with two primary aims: to understand how clubs can renew their visual identity while honoring their historical heritage, and to identify effective strategies for positioning in global markets. Chapter 1 defines the concept of branding in sports, analyzes its strategic importance for football clubs, and outlines the evolution of Italian football, detailing the methodology and analysis criteria based on document review and content analysis of official and digital materials. Chapter 2 presents five case studies (Juventus, Milan, Roma, Napoli, and Inter), reconstructing each club’s rebranding processes, emblem evolution, and identity drivers. Chapter 3 explores communication actions, style consistency, rebranding initiatives, promotional campaigns, and media strategies, comparing corporate and emotional approaches. Chapter 4 delivers a comparative analysis using qualitative and quantitative indicators, evaluates the effectiveness of the various strategies, and proposes potential future developments.
La presente tesi esplora il branding nel calcio italiano con un duplice obiettivo: comprendere come i club possano rinnovare la propria identità visiva rispettando il patrimonio storico e individuare strategie efficaci per il posizionamento sui mercati globali. Nel Capitolo 1 si definisce il concetto di brand in ambito sportivo, si analizza l’importanza strategica del branding per le società calcistiche e si delinea il contesto evolutivo del calcio italiano, illustrando metodologia e criteri di analisi basati su document review e content analysis di materiali ufficiali e digitali. Il Capitolo 2 propone cinque case study (Juventus, Milan, Roma, Napoli e Inter), ricostruendo i processi di rebranding, l’evoluzione grafica dello stemma e le leve identitarie adottate da ogni club. Nel Capitolo 3 si approfondiscono le azioni di comunicazione—coerenza di stile, rebranding, campagne promozionali e strategie mediatiche—mettendo a confronto approcci corporate ed emozionali. Il Capitolo 4 presenta un’analisi comparativa tramite indicatori qualitativi e quantitativi, valuta l’efficacia delle diverse strategie e propone possibili sviluppi futuri.
