OK. The Fangirl’s Guide to Serie A is now complete.

Firstly, there are the player guides, with yummy pics to help you decide which team has the highest concentration of pretty. Psst. It's Milan.

Part One
Covering Fiorentina, Inter, Lazio, Livorno, Milan, Palermo, Roma and Udinese AKA 'The Teams with the Azzurri In'.

Part Two
Covering Ascoli, Cagliari, Chievo and Empoli.

Part Three
Covering Messina, Parma, Reggina, Sampdoria and Siena.

Part Four
Including Atalanta, Catania and Torino.

However, as I was compiling these, it occurred to me that it might be nice if I knew where some of these teams were. All right, I know Livorno are based in Livorno, but I had no idea whare Livorno is! Geographical location can help a fangirl who is still undecided, so I thought that a map may also be of assistance. And then it occurred to me that, maybe a little aide memoire may be useful.
