Monica Garruccio spends her evenings training and her weekends playing football, for Serie A champions, Torres, no less. In Italy, a country not known for its forward-thinking take on gender roles, Monica and Antonio begin to look like a more distinctive couple.
In Italy, as in the UK, football's long heritage as a sport for men has made it tough for women players to become anything more than a notionally entertaining sideshow. (In the US, of course, where there is only a short history of men playing 'soccer', the women have had huge success.)
